WTF is up with Vimeo and their new upload limit? I'm not paying $59.00 a year...

Anyway, here's why everybody should avoid stock wheel studs...

That sucked! Better to lose it there, instead of big bend!!

Umm...that would be mine. :p

New hubs: $130. New Moroso studs & lugnuts: $60. All things considered, I got pretty damn lucky.

I wouldn't use Moroso studs if they paid me. Of all the failures like yours that I have seen, the vast majority were Moroso's.
There should be a rule that only ARP's are allowed.

Agreed no Morosos. Does the Moroso packaging still say not to use with spacers? Use ARP, see if Donovan Racing has the Mustang spec studs for ya. If, not, give Baer Brakes a call.

Sam has the bit to ream the new hubs, and I have borrowed that bit and am set up to do this if you need. I just finished two for Tilton and two for myself, including the Marshal Mosty how-to on the synthetic grease re-pack. Let me know if you want and I'll fix you up a pair with ARP's for $190. The hubs are SRW's (Koyo bearing) from NAPA, or I can use your old ones if you ship them to me.

I'll also agree on giving the Morosos the float test. Cheap material with a brittle heat treat to get "strength" combined with cut rather than rolled threads to amplify the stress risers. They are a disaster waiting to happen...

Cancelled my order for Moroso studs. Looks like Baer has the right size ARP to fit the front with no drilling. Will give them a call when they open.

I have the correct size drill (39/64") or if you want to do it right I have the 39/64" reamer. Anyone that wants to borrow them or use my drill press and do their hubs here at my shop are welcome.


Richard,
Dan was looking for some size restrictor plate. I have a 31,32,33,34 and 35mm in my desk. I don't remember what he wanted but he could bore out one of these to the size he needs.

The drilling is not a big deal Eddie. I did my front hubs with a corded drill and a shop vise as I dont have a press. I highly reccomend the ARP's. You can get ARP oversize studs from Summit for $13 for a five pack: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ARP-100-7703/ Then you just need to order a 39/64 drill bit and your ready to go.

Baer charges something like 4 times the price... they are ARP studs but Baer has some type of copywrite and ARP cannot sell them to the public...

Thats nothing. You should see vid from Sat when it was loose.

And I'm still working on those air pressure's for the 17's. The tires really go away the last half of the race.

I can verify the strength of the ARP wheel studs. 2 years ago I was in an accident at PPIR.
The axle was bent and a stock Ford wheel broke on the right rear side after being impacted.
Only one of the five ARP wheel studs were bent. None of them broke off.

For a moment I thought you had re-posted my video from Cresson a year or so ago...starting on pole and then losing a half-dozen spots at the start...but then you stayed on track and I knew it was not me.
Nice battle btw Eddie and Jim at the end.

As everyone has said:

39/64 bit or reamer (reamer is better)
ARP 7703's
AmsOil Racing grease

= years of trouble free racing.

I buy my hubs at O'reilley's. I get their "precision gear" 3yr warranty hubs ($75 my cost). I either look for Yoyo stamping (Same as OEM Ford) or just buy Timken (rebadged "National" brand).

I've used Ford (Koyo), Timken, and Precision with the same luck. I'm only on my second set of hubs in 7 years... still tight. Change the grease and rotate the ball bearings every two seasons. I'm shooting for 4 year service intervals. Ford hubs are pretty easy to determine when they are bad when you are on the track, so you "shouldn't" have catastrophic failures...

Drill bits are good for approx 20 hubs before they need to be replaced. That will vary on bit cost, but mine cost approx $35 each. The guy I use charges $10 per hub to drill using my bit.

If anyone wants hubs purchased and drilled, I will do them at cost (approx $85) or add studs for $100 total, or greased out the door for $125...

Side Note:
I drove a new AI racer's (Iaan)(sp?) 2003-04 Grand-Am Mustang on Saturday with a bad hub and it was really, really bad. Just had some strange directional changes and lots of noise. I set Ian back up with some spare hubs to complete the weekend and will regrease/drill/stud a new set for him before Hallett...

My oil pressure issue isn't really an issue. I put an aftermarket mechanical gauge on it, and it's all good.
I guess I pulled off during R4 for no reason, but wasn't taking any chances with the new motor.

I just found out Al's transmission has a bad mainshaft and 5/6 gear; apparently the 5/6 gear was wobbling which may have contributed to the shaft, gear, and synchro failure.

Wait, did I say Al's? Sorry, that was my first bad 6 speed. Put the phone down Al, you're still has some fluid in it.

Nice move Glenn. Looks like you laid back from the cluster to get a run onto the stretch. You were back in the gas while they were still brake stompin' each other.

See most of us would have been up there on Dan's bumper and would have not gotten by as a result. Well played.

Eddie's pretty hard to hold back especially if he is on your tail for more than a lap. I tried like crazy to make my car as wide as I could at Hallett last year and he just kept picking away until I made a mistake. Of course that mistake just had to be on the 2nd last turn of the last lap :(
