Longer front wheel studs suit 40/60/80 Series....

Is it possible to get longer front wheel studs for a 60 series, (approx 10mm more thread) or does anyone know of a simliar stud from another vehicle that would suit?
Studs need to have a machined shoulder to suport the disc, then the knurling for the interference fit on the hubs....
thanks.

What reason do you need this for anyway??? Are you going to be fitting wheel spacers or something????
My wheel studs on my 60 are ample long enough.

I am looking at building a rear disc brake conversion and wanted the longer studs for that. Not using wheel spacers, using an 80 series hub but with the disc behind the hub, mounting it with a spacer similar to the IFS hilux axle widening kits that are available on the market.

use the studs off the front of a 60 then, they are longer(than the rear studs) to cater for the disc on the back of the hub.

other way around.. the 80's rear studs are longer because they have the disc that slips over them and they would be nearly 10mm loonger

80 rear studs maybe longer, but they dont have the machined shoulder to support the disc........
