Kelsey Hayes longer wheel studs

Here's what i did, years back, for a customer of mine, that wanted, or needed, longer wheel studs for his 4 piston, Kelsey Hayes, disc brake set up.
Guess when i did this, longer 7/16 diameter studs were, unobtanium, dinosaur eggs, hens teeth, in locating too.
I got the brainy idea of using longer 1/2 diameter studs that would be used, and work on the 70-72 B & E body cars with disc brakes.
I brought over to my machinist friend of mine, an old disc brake rotor, and hub, from one of those B & E body cars.
He used those to get hole dimensions to to drill out the A body rotor and hub to use the 1/2 inch diameter wheel studs.
Worked great. Longer 1/2 studs were easily findable for disc brakes when i did it.
But i haven't a clue anymore what manufacturer would still have them, now a days.
So, if you don't mind using 1/2 inch studs, and lug nuts, that would be an option for you, to go that route.
A lot stronger that what the factory ever had with the wimpy 7/16 inch studs.
Just my two cents on the subject.

Jim, is the shoulder length the same on the 1/2 studs? I think that's the main issue with these is the oddball shoulder set up.

Regardless of knurl size, under head length or any other dimension, no one makes any kind of stud with a 1.062" length shoulder. IMO the shoulder is what locates the pieces together after the knurl is swedged.

BTW, the studs are 7/16 thread so lug nuts should be no sweat.
