The TR-6 studs fit thru (tightly) the Spit hubs...but threads are
different than Spit lug nuts...so you need to change the set...for my
money converting the whole lot is the better solution...

Are you saying that the studs are larger? If so, how would they fit in the Spit
hub?
I need to replace 2 studs on my sitting Spitty (they're just missing
altogether), and
figured I might just replace all of them with the TR-6 studs then. But, am I
going
to need to replace the hub as well?

Spit (and GT-6) studs are not all that robust to begin with...and
after a few heavy handed wrench turners apply torque with the famous
56" lug nut tightener (or the 1200 psi impact wrench) it is to be
expected that the studs should give up the ghost...
Recommend replacing the original studs (and nuts) with TR-6 studs (and
nuts) which can take a little more abuse. It is important to note,
the TR-6 has bigger nuts than the Spit...ahhhh...I mean......

I have just been out for a drive in my GT6, I came across a broken
down Spitfire MkIV. I stopped to offer assistance and found that all
four wheel studs had sheared on the O/S rear wheel. Has anyone else
experienced all four studs shearing?.
Granted, this Spit was in a rather ropey condition but I haven't
known this happen before myself.
Regards
Ian
