<div dir="ltr">I totally agree - at the very least, you should be using 7/16"-20 studs. I'm not 100% certain, but I'm pretty sure that the TR6 stud knurl is the same or "close enough" to the Spitfire because one of the locals used to take my TR6 cast-off studs for his Spitfire. But if you need to play with whee spacers, look at the offerings from ARP. Totally worth the money. Get the bullet-nose style - they really help to avoid cross threading when you're thrashing to get the wheels on before a session. Not that THAT ever happens.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Regards,</div><div dir="ltr">Bob Lang<br></div><div><br></div>
