Greg -
If the studs are loose in the hub, even after tightening the nuts, there's
not much you personally can do.
You can, however, probably go to a machine shop and have them put in a soft
steel sleeve which then can re-catch on the ridges on the stud. Otherwise
you can get a used hub from all the usual suppliers like British Car
Specialists or Cape.
Incidentally, if you want a new unit, you can get them from AH spares. If
you sit tight, the UK pound should take a bit of a dive over the next couple
of weeks and it will be even cheaper in USD:
