dr3bin Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 5-bolt hub but I only have 4 threads! Where can I buy the fifth one? I bought the spacers from FreakyParts ages ago, and a bolt was lost when removing them from my 140. I PM'ed FreakyP and bought another bolt from him over two weeks ago but it never arrived. I PM'ed Freaky on Saturday to chase it but I've not got a reply yet. I would like to install the spacers on Saturday while I'm lowering my car thus the enquiry of purchasing somewhere else outside of FreakyParts. The bolt length is around 48mm and needs a 19mm socket to remove the required nut. I'm not sure what 'm' size the bolt/thread is from this. Any ideas?

tctech Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 a good man with a lathe will knock one up in about 10 minutes ,so it may be worth trying an engineering shop if you have one local to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Fensport sell wheel studs for under £3. Just go to the parts section and select your model Celica: http://www.fensport.co.uk/ Beyond that why not try Toyota themselves? They must keep stuff like this on the shelf surely!

dr3bin Posted May 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 (edited) Ams? Thanks, I've PM'ed him a good man with a lathe will knock one up in about 10 minutes ,so it may be worth trying an engineering shop if you have one local to you Ah I didn't think of that. There is an engineering place nearby, so if I don't have one by Friday I'll pop in and see if they can knock one up. Fensport sell wheel studs for under £3. Just go to the parts section and select your model Celica: http://www.fensport.co.uk/ Beyond that why not try Toyota themselves? They must keep stuff like this on the shelf surely! Unfortunately it's not a full stud. It's only the 'thread' bit of the stud - so there's no "head" bit to it, just the screwy bit - if that makes sense? Additionally it's a non-OEM part (built by FreakyParts) - not sold by Toyota directly so I doubt they'd sell it on the shelf nor would they be able to source one for me. The Mr T near me is a bit naff and any amount of effort required on their part beyond punching a number into their database means they won't do it.

Bumblebee Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 go to a fasteners who sell bolts etc , they should have plenty in stock and will match the thread and pitch up for you ,make sure you get the correct grade of bolt, probably a 9.9 ( higher tensile strength than standard 8 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Oh sorry, thought you were just after a wheel stud/bolt, did not realise spacers were different in that way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got my £2 and I'm bolt-less lol Oh sorry, thought you were just after a wheel stud/bolt, did not realise spacers were different in that way! No problem dude Some spacers have a 'complete' bolt, however these ones are just the thread bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saru Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Hi mate, Ive been trying to contact Freakyparts for a while now too. Been enquiring on whether they can make me 20mm Bolt ons instead of the 15 mm ones i bought off them. Lets hope we get a reply soon. My front end is without spacers looks awkward. lol. Good luck with getting your bolt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr3bin Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Cheers buddy. I think the smallest bolt on spacer you can get would be the 27mm ones he does - so a 20mm spacer may have to be a longer-stud jobby. I know when I bought my 15mm's they used longer bolts, but the guy fitting them didn't have any issues (they weren't Fensport studs nor a FreakyParts spacer so I'm not 100% sure) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saru Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Ye i bought a set of 15mm however the fensport studs were a pain in the ass to fit in. So have returned them. Bolt ons are so simple to install and remove if ever necessary. But 27mm at the front look a bit too big. 20mm could be perfect. Well anyways got to wait and see, what response we get.

dr3bin Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Yeah I saw TMOUSSE's pain he got from attempting to fit longer studs with Fensport studs. I followed nthnmunky's advice and bought some H&R ones which I will be getting again next month and fitting myself. It took my garage about an hour to fit, so it'll probably take me all day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tctech Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 if you know the thread pitch you can also buy them here http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/index.php?cPath=731_738&osCsid=fil7n5p5ta35chhk6lnv1vaso7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr3bin Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Thanks guys. In terms of "speaking of the devil", the bolt arrived today from FreakyParts. Took a while but it got here I've thread-locked it onto my 27mm spacer, so these will be going on when I lower it on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saru Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Sweet. Got in contact with Freakyparts, they can do the 20mm Bolt Ons aswell. What you lowering it on mate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr3bin Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Nice, hopefully that'll do the trick for you. I've got some Apex springs arriving tomorrow. Had them on my 140 and they were awesome Best mod for £100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
