Hmm... are both side right-hand thread or just one side? (I guess I
should really look in the Moss catalog first, but I'm lazy) I broke a
stud on the left (US driver's) side.
I would think that I have a threaded kind, as the car's a 62 TR4. Is
there any sort of marking on the hub that would tell for sure?
