Have you contacted ARP directly?

They might even make it a stock item
The studs are pantera-specific as far as I know. Maybe some other italian car used a similar system.
Here are some of the studs I have. In the middle the std length, on the right the Gt5/gr4 studs, which are 10 mm longer and on the left some special very long ones made specifically for racing.

Where did you get the long ones from? Those seem to be for a thicker wheel flange?
Hi guys, I have had ARP make a run of special application studs before, when I had my vintage mustang big brake business. There is of course a minimum buy, but it was "reasonable". Don't recall the details...but may be worth chatting with them... I would imagine there could be enough interest amongst the community members to carry it.?.?
This may or may not be helpful but BARBARAM (bah-bah, bah-bah-Baram) has a set of 10 (new-used) on Flea-bay now for $39.

It's in the process. They sound like they MIGHT be interested?
I'll let you know what they tell me.
There is no secret rocket science to making wheel studs. It doesn't sound like anyone has approached them before on this subject at all which really is surprising to me?
Barbaram on ebay, is Mike Mayberry, aka King here on this forum. Some, I'm not saying who, need to expand their horizons...just a little?

Surely you don't mean me?
You think I don't know that?
Like in my post to SpeedU where I suggest that you have to buy the $399 wheel from "Barabara", but have to go to King to get the decal?
I know more than you think, my brother!
P. S. You forgot to put the Eye-roll
or the condescending head-pat 
at the end of your quote!You can't kid a kidder!

Who said I was talking about you?
Push, Very impressive sir. What do you do with such a long stud?
(sorry...the question had to be asked...

Actually, all these studs (!) came with the parts I purchased from the Danish race-team which build and ran three Gr4 Panteras back in 2004-08. They were apparently spacing the Wheels quite a lot, so they had these made.

3" long studs is typical of US race cars, the reason being they use long lug nuts.
As long as I can remember it has been that way. I first noticed these on the late 60s "Trans Am" road race cars.
You will see them in vintage pictures of the Shelby Racing Co Boss 302's with the Minilite wheels.
Here is a picture of a lug nut from a Mustang that was raced.
This one was purchased from "American Racing Wheels" around 1972 and was used on my 200s wheels. It's 1/2"-20 thread.
The greater length gives you greater load capacity, it reduces the bending on the stud AND last but not least, they are easier to hold and start on the studs.
The ends are also open so you can see how far the stud is in the lug.
The standard length studs were notorious for snapping even just torking up the wheels.

I used Moroso part # 46185 but they are 1/2 20. The knurl is the correct diameter for the axle but I plan on running the rotor hats outside of the axle.
Well, yes, those are Mustang wheel studs. Virtually everything Mustang crosses over.
As a matter of fact you are reminding me of something with Dorman studs. I think one fits the Pantera if 'you' want to change to SAE 1/2"-20 studs?
I have to go into my 'Dorman' archives?
Hey...i wouldn't mind swapping over to sae. Who the heck would ever know.... If you come across those numbers please share.

You will loose the DT monogrammed lug nuts?
Some of the Vendors have DeTomaso monogrammed lug nuts in 1/2"-20. I bought a set from Dennis Quella a few years ago.

Weren't those lug nuts the same ones that were on Messala's chariot in Ben-Hur?
Hard to tell in this picture, but it's the best one I could find on the interwebs....
No. Wrong thread.
Good info... Thx

Kristian, can measure the thread length on the standard and GR4/GT5 wheels studs?
The part on the studs that not is threaded is it approximately same length on the standard and GR4/GT5?
