Wheel studs for Panasport fitment
There was an excellent discussion about this on the "Roadster List" yesterday. Mike is a member here and I hope he gave me permission to put this information in the tech-wiki. Here is his thread.
Just wanted to give the list and all those who replied to help, an update. I found longer studs (1 3/4") that fit and provide me with a full 3/4" of thread tightening with the 15" Panasports I bought. The nuts still have ample space left so they won't bottom out. So far I'd say the length is perfect, at least on the axle. They're listed for the ' 60 to ' 82 Corvette and ' 67 to ' 69 Camaro.
Here are some specs I researched if they might be useful to anyone:

I didn't have to pull the axle but it still took 3 hours, not too bad. Tomorrow the fronts! Mike Hudson '67 - Stroker / 5-speed
