Help! I need 3rd member studs!

[mshred]

Hey guys,

im missing two of the ten studs for an 8-3/4 that hold the third member to the housing with nuts...ive tried called the dealer with the old catalogs and he has a number for them studs but he cant get them in...ive also tried other fastener companies like papco as well and they dont have any...they are very similar to a nurled wheel stud but they are 3/8 inch instead of 1/2 inch...anybody know where i can get these things?

Hey Roy, you dont have to just yet...im gonna try to see what i can come up with around here first...i mean honestly, it is reidiculous that there is nothing around here i can find...All the studs that are similar are for wheels and only start in a 7/16 size...If i cant find anything i will send you a pm...thanks again for the offer!

also the same as the 8 3/4 housing end

I can send them to you first class mail. probably 5.00 or less. Studs are free.

ive had this problem before too, i took a 3/8 bolt and wrapped saftey wire or some kind of thin wire around the thread and leave an inch or more to hang out, when you install the third member poke the wire threw the hole and hang on to the wire so the bolt dont fall back into the housing, start all your nuts and i used needle nose pliars to hold the bolt and started the nut and tightened it last and it tightened with out a back up wrench and is still holding, if you got a welder tack the bolt into place.
