Sliding over from B-Bodies with a question.

Cleaning out my stash and found some L/H thread wheel studs and nuts.
I know they're to short for my RR.
1/2 x 20 thread
Overall length 1 13/16" (close via ruler)
Thread length approx. 3/4"
I'm sure they are Mopar as the studs are copper in color as mine were for the RR.

Any thoughts?
Thanks
Frank

I assume that they are Wheel studs = Perhaps for a different year or brake.
The A body wheel Studs that I have ever seen that were lefts were 7/16 NOT 1/2.

IIRC lefty's were used al Chrysler products up to a certain date. (70 something,)

My 67 Dart still sports left hand lugs!

Someone probably swapped the original LH with RH threaded lugs and didnt discard them.

Haven't seen them for awhile. Seems like I remember the lefts were copper in color and had an L stamped in the end.

Too short for which end of your RR?
The rears are shorter than the fronts.

Thanks guys.

Yes these are copper colored and I know they are wheel studs & nuts by the lug nut style and the crown before the the thread. I was just wondering if they could have come from an "A body" car.
I have my lefty studs on the front and back (drivers side) of my RR.
I BELIEVE Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth changed to all right hand thread for the '71 production year.

Thanks for the responses. Doesn't seem like it's for any of your "A body" cars.

These 7/16" rear drum studs were as you describe. A little tuff to make out the "L" on this shot but it's there......

1/2 x 20 LH thread is B & C body territory (1970 model year & back) or 1970 E-body.
