The studs on TD's up to chassis no. 12284 were BSF threads. TD's from
chassis no. 12285, and TF disc wheel cars are SAE thread. I would
purchase one from Moss Motors, 264-240 (BSF thread) for your 1950 TD, to
compare threads from new stud against what you have installed. It is
quite possible that you could have late SAE threads (264-110), as drums
would be purchased from wrecking yards, as old drums were turned to
maximum. Once you have compared the threads, to see if you do have BSF
threads, or SAE threads, you can decide on the route to take. The studs
are splined. Driven out with a hammer, or pressed out. Pressed or
hammered back into the drum. You should be able to find replacement
studs in aa good auto parts store, armed with the correct stud sample
that you purchased.
