Do bnq do it? I've just checked their website and couldn't find any hardened steel.
Mind you, I didn't look hard or long... (Inb4giggidy)

Buy a bolt and cut the head off?
Don't know if that would work for your purpose

No, its for a stus and but conversion

check out your local fastners - they'll have all sorts of threaded bar, bolts, nuts ..etc
they might sell you bits n bobs for tea/biscuit money too as they normally deal in large quanitites
on a trading estate near you

Presume you mean stud and nut?
In which case isn't cutting down thread bar dodgy as? You can bend that stuff with your hands? You need fancy heat treated strengthened stuff? ARP headbolt kinda style fasteners?

Both B+Q and Homebase sell it. As do screwfix and the like.
If your looking to make wheel studs though buy actual wheel studs. IIRC the DIY store stuff is 8.8 hardness and studs should be 12.9+. I wouldn't scrimp on the stuff that holds your wheels on especially if your planning on tracking it.

Maannn I wouldn't ever consider using off the shelf bar for a stud conversion.
Super dooper high tensile as a minimum, but if your're just using a straight bar, what's to stop it carrying on through the hub when you tighten the nut up?
http://www.larkspeed.com/index.pl?p=361SS24&a=i - 99p each. Don't be such a cheapskate.

Normal threaded bar isn't even 8.8, it's 5.4, soft as shit. You need at leat 10.9 grade hardened stuff, which you generally won't get off the shelf, shop4fastners or similar are the best place, or if you have a proper local fasteener supplies they might be able to order you some in for the next day.

Just to sum up Sean, both me and Stu telling you something is pikey as f*ck and a bad idea should really ring alarm bells in your head

This. Wheel bolts are 12.9 rated for a reason. I wouldnt even consider using anything i wasnt 100% sure was 12.9. just asking for trouble.
15-08-2013, 12:02 PM
Most are 10.9 but yeah.
As said last night, B&Q threaded bar is a BAD idea.

I've found some 10.9 grade from a bolt n but type shop.
Hes after £9 pm. And he can cut it to size for me.
Grant had a guest at 100mm and I've measured and it seems about right. What do others think?

So your paying £9pm and you'll need 2m which is £18. Actual proper wheel studs are only about £1 each from speed shack (thatll be £16 then)
JUST BUY PROPER F*CKING STUDS YOU F*CKING INBRED MONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To measure the length of stud you'll need you need to go about 8 turns into the wheel and the same again into the nut. this is 10mm for each. You then need to add the thickness of the brake disc, the thickness of any spacer your gonna use and the thickness of the wheel (use the old bolt to measure) Add it all together and you'll have an accurate length.

GTFO and don't come back until you've bought some proper hardened steel studs and some threadlock.

You will struggle getting 10.9 or 12.9 rating long bar for this job.
Try your local nut and bolt place, use yellow pages etc.
Oh and OE bolts are 10.9 as standard, although for hard driving ie track driving stc I would not use anything less than 12.9.
