my googling for possible sources, I found other forum discussion about ARP making custom studs.
another tidbit I "learned" was a ARP comment "Do NOT clean threads with a die." Cleaning the stud with a die nut is part of my norm![]()
They cut their threads with a roller device, not a die.
A die will cause microscopic fracture lines.
I haven't talked to any racers using long studs on a Pantera but I would presume that they have changed over to a Mustang 1/2"-20 variant?
Dorman makes a bunch of studs as well. I couldn't find the correct combination for them on my GT350 and wound up with ARP's on the front WITH the long Shelby lug nuts so that worked out.
