I totally agree - at the very least, you should be using 7/16"-20 studs. I=
'm not 100% certain, but I'm pretty sure that the TR6 stud knurl is the sam=
e or "close enough" to the Spitfire because one of the locals used to take =
my TR6 cast-off studs for his Spitfire. But if you need to play with whee s=
pacers, look at the offerings from ARP. Totally worth the money. Get the bu=
llet-nose style - they really help to avoid cross threading when you're thr=
ashing to get the wheels on before a session. Not that THAT ever happens.
