When converting my TR front hubs to a Ford 4 1/2 X 5 inch bold pattern
my machinist used 1/2" X 2" allen set screws for wheel studs.  The holes
in the hubs were threaded and then the allen screw is threaded through
the hole far enough to allow a jam nut on the rear of the hub.  I also
used red locktite on the installation.  The set screws are grade 8 so
there is no compromise in strength.
