CAV wheel studs
- Thread starter cavgt40

Hi Syed,
CAV Canada has wheel studs custom machined to fit the pre 100 s/n CAVs.
We've had to replace them due to loose fit or short length. Either way, our parts start out life as a race car wheel stud for use on high horsepower drag or circle track cars so there tough enough.
Photo attached is from a customer stub axle prior to being fitted to our new steel uprights.
Good timing on your part, another batch is at the machine shop now. Hope that helps.
Cheers

Sorry, I'm probably being majorly slow here - but don't the CAV gt40s have pin drive hubs? In other words, pin drive with a spinner rather than traditional wheel studs....?
Hi Cliff,
They say a pictures' worth a thousand words, sometimes it raises more questions along the way!
You're correct, the CAV are pin drives, however the studs retain the disc rotor and knockoff stub axle by custom machined nuts which in effect become the drive pins. This is standard stuff amongst GT40 and Cobra replicas.

Hi Ian, thanks, got it. Makes perfect sense to me now.
