Wanted: wheel clamping bolts and nuts

[Corey Myronuk]

Hi Does anyone have a few of the wheel clamping bolts they would sell me (short) pn-D.N.D-1676 7/8"-11X1-7/8" (C01Q-1083) and/or nuts pn-D.N.D-1675 7/8"-11 (C01Q-1110)

Or can put me on to a supplier? 2 or three on each of my wheels are not useable due to corrosion damage.a friend of mine suggested that the double decker buses he worked on in London had the same bolts and thread pitch..maybe one of you in the UK may have some luck.

thanks in advance

Look for wheels, might be cheaper than finding, buying and shipping.

Harry is right, you may be able to get a complete wheel that is part rotted from ground contact for a very reasonable price since it isn't a safe wheel anymore and get most of the studs from it. Remember Bob Carriere's first law of CMPs "You can't resore one without another for parts (unless you want to spend an awful amount to do it)".
Another source is Dirk at LWD parts (listed at 5 Euros each...)

i think even with shipping at 5€ each id still be winning with dirk.all of my studs are welded in on the back side so id be doubtfull of re using a recovered stud.think ill search for a local source for 7/8 unf hi tensile stud as a backup.thanks guys.

If the rim is already rotted to the point of being garbage, there is no harm in cutting a chunk of the rim out with the stud and then cleaning up the back end of the stud. If you are doing this, consider running a die down the stud before you take it out of the rim so it is secured while you are rethreading it. You would be welding on the back of the rim so probably not messing the thread but some anti spatter might be a good precaution.

However you decide to go for the repacement stud, take the time to do a nice job on taking out the old one so the new one sits square. You might want to put the two halves of the rim together and use a nut on the stud to hold it all in place and tight while you weld. I've worked some rims with studs that were off square and they were a nuisance.
