bump


anyone know the exact size lug bolt I'll need? Discount tire said they can probably sell some to me, but need the exact size, as they have a stockroom full

58-65 front drums, oval drums in the rear, empi BRM copies like pictured in this thread

FYI: I would recommend pulling your drum and checking your lug bolt with wheel mounted to see how far past the inside edge of the drum the threads seat. I installed some of the Empi BRM's on a 1956 bug with the lug bolts that Empi supplied and they caught my brakes causing a bit of a headache. You need to shorten them slightly so you don't cause damage to your brakes. A friend of mine had the same thing happen but didn't catch it until he was 200 miles away at a show. AAA towed his car home for him. Wish I would have known this prior to bolting things up.
