Title: Wheel bolts for Gas Burners
Post by: drgouk on June 29, 2009, 10:42:45 am
Hello,
        I have just brought a set of genuine Gas Burners. I was going to buy a set of CSP drums in the porsche pattern, What wheel bolts are you guys using with this combo? The drums are threaded.
I would prefer a chrome bolt.
Or would it be better to just convert the CSP drums to press in studs and use porsche nuts?

Thanks
David

David,
Yes,get the brakes converted and use genuine porsche wheel nut,if you want the shiny look the nuts could be polished or even chromed

I run with screw in studs and chromed steel nuts from machine 7

I am going to get some OG alloy porsche nuts when I buy some more. There is a guy selling chromed/ poilished alloy nuts on the samba .com if you want the shiney look $100 including shipping

A word of warning if you have dropped spindles, the burners seem a bit thicker than the 4 1/2 fuch wheels I was running and the leading edge of the lower ball joint was making contact with the inside of the wheel . A fix was to give the ball joint edge a little kiss with the grinder on the leading edge and to wind the front of the car a little
