I just put SAW 14mm studs in my front drum-hubs. I had to drill them to 9/16" per the SAW site.
I have the 12mm screw-in studs that I pulled out of those same hubs if you need them. They are in great shape since I only ran them 1 season. I have the Gorilla lug nuts and stupid taper-to-ballseat adapter washers for them too. I got it all from CB Performance.

Thanks for the offer but I think i have it figured out.
I'm running 12mm bolts i threaded in from the backside that way they can't back out. So we will see.

If you want them to NOT back out, you'd better weld the heads to keep them from turning when you try to tighten the nuts on the front!

Also, that is very nice. That gas tank is a bit scary tho. I hope you mounted that sturdy  . It would suck to hit the brakes, and have it fly past you

Ya I actually made the straps to hold it down yesterday.
I finished the brakes this weekend. steering is done. and i have one of the rear shock mounts in. all i need is to make all my seat mounts and a little more cage work.

Throw some sexy coilovers on that bitch , lol
But looking good. But one thing tho, please change out that fan shroud. Put a stock one on, or a thing shroud. I'd hate to see you in the engine section with a topic saying "Why'd my motor blow up?", lol
