Autofarm provides great service. The prices are in Canadian dollars but the exchange rate is good for USD. They use the Canadian postal service to ship to the US border for customs clearance and the it ships via USPS. However, I am not sure about shipping to the US now that the small parcel tariff exemption has been canceled. 

 

Their ordering process is a bit strange. You need to place the order and they will email an invoice, from a different email address, with the shipping fees. If you decide to purchase the items, there is a link in the email that takes you to a payment website.

 

British Car Specialists might have the studs.

Have my OD partially dismantled to hopefully sort out two oil leaks. These only show up when the GB and OD are really hot.

Queries:

(1) Is there a cross reference list with stud details - lengths in particular. I believe that I have a few rogues and would like to correct them. Have the correct part numbers but no details ? Any known suppliers ? the usual suppliers don't list them.

(2) One of the leaks is at the rear annulus at the brake ring, where it is clamped without gaskets between the 2 housings.So what goo is suggested ? Was planning to use a thin smear of Permatex #2 (as suggested by a fellow that repairs many OD) or Hylomar. Previously a red anaerobic sealant was used - BTW it is a real bear to clean off.
