        Malcolm... The wheel stud for a steel wheel TR4 is a press fit
        (if memory serves) Take a drift and tap out the head then go to 
        your local parts NAPA, Pep Boys or whatever, with your lug nut and 
        pick out the stud with the correct thread pitch... It's no mystery, 
        the stuff is standard lengths and thread sizes...
