jeffc Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Greetings Folks, I finally found some time to do some work on the bits and pieces received from Canley. The front hubs already had the Spitfire studs installed. I successfully pressed those small studs out and, fearing potential damage by using the press to install the CLP9037L studs, I opted to use deep lug nuts to pull the CLP9037L studs into the front hubs. Problem.... The CLP9037L studs can be pushed out of the front hubs with minimal effort. The rear flange of the CLP9037L studs is a bit bigger than the original Spitfire studs that were received with the Canley hubs causing the CLP9037L studs to not seat all the way into the recesses. I imagine I should gently reduced the diameter of the CLP9037L flange until they do seat all of the way into the hub recesses. Question: Does anybody know if there is a product that would help the stud splines to "grab" the hub splines? I was considering some Loctite Red 272 which has the strongest "grip" on threads, but I am not sure how (or if) it would work with splines. Any thoughts/ suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance and best regards, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerguzzi Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Hello Jeff Are the studs like these or are the not chamfered?

jeffc Posted June 29, 2023 Author Share Posted June 29, 2023 Howdy Roger, Yes, the number on the individual packages is "CLP9037L" and the base of the stud is tapered from the base of the splines to the edge of the flange (exactly as the picture you provided). Do you have the Canley aluminum front hubs? Thanks for the reply! Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerguzzi Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Hello Jeff No I just upgraded all the studs to 12mm x 1,5 when I fitted Alloy wheels (3/8") always looked a bit small? Roger ps can you not countersink the holes a bit deeper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffc Posted June 29, 2023 Author Share Posted June 29, 2023 Greetings again, I might be able countersink them a bit. I had not thought about that option. The base of the CLP9037L are .035 larger than the small base of the studs installed by Canley (.830 -vs- .865). Thanks for the idea! Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffc Posted June 30, 2023 Author Share Posted June 30, 2023 OOPS! The stud base is .630 -vs- .665. (Note to self: make optometrist appointment) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
