11/16" lug nuts???

Does any one know of a source to buy 11/16" fine thread (18 pitch not 16 pitch) grade 8 nuts for the rear wheel studs on my Dragster?? Thanks.
Rob

Google search "11/16 wheel studs". You should find a bunch of suppliers.

Mav, I've just about worn out my search engine looking for these things. I'm wondering if maybe if I look where fuel cars shop for their junk.......any ideas where that might be? lolol

Check with one of the axle companys .

Mav, the problem that I'm finding is that all the major manufacturers like MW and the like are installing 11/16" STUDS with 5/8" threads. Mine are 11/16" all the way....plus they are a press in from the rear of the floater hub.

Mav, the problem I'm seeing with the larger equipment like my F-600 that I use for my Race Car transporter is that the wheel nuts and studs are course thread. lol Trust me, I eyeballed them looking for some nuts lol.

Massey Ferguson has an 11/16" stud. Not sure if it's coarse of fine thread. I bet Schmitty knows.

Dorman 611-043 is a flat faced 11/16"-16 lug nut.

I actually had a set of them in my hot little hand yesterday.......but it turns out that I've got an 18 pitch thread and those are a 16 pitch thread......(insert heavy sigh here)    .

Can't really comment, I've only got one Massey and I've never pulled a tire off of it.

Got any pics of these studs you could post? IIRC I don't think I have ever seen 11/16" drive studs with 11/16" threads.

Over the years I have seen the MW style (and other brands) 11/16" drive studs using an 11/16" OD body with 5/8" OD threaded ends, and the Strange 11/16" drive studs that use a 5/8" OD threaded stud with an 11/16" OD sleeve that has 5/8" internal threads.

Dave, I'll try and post up some pics tonight. The hubs are some old school un named brand with press in studs. 5 1/2" grip length and a round splined head about 5/16" thick. And they're 11/16" all the way. I don't know what make the floater set up is but the carrier caps on the drop out say Lenco on them. That's the only ID that I have on the whole diff. It's an old style round back 9" with a back brace and Willwood 4 piston calipers and 11 1/2" drilled solid rotors with a 6x7" mounting pattern (which I cant find on the Willwood site either).

Here are the stud pics



I'm still at a stalemate on the nuts, I'm open for suggestions........

Judging from the pics you posted here and on the other 460 site I'm pretty sure this is an ancient Lenco floater outer axle/hub assembly with an 11/16 x 11/16 non-shouldered drive stud. You might try contacting them, if you're lucky they still might have the 11/16 drive stud nuts buried in the inventory somewhere.

I doubt using a long set of 11/16 x 5/8 MW or Strange (or etc) shoulder shank type drive studs could be made to work in the Lenco outer hub/axle assembly since it's stud hole is already too big at 11/16" diameter to cut the needed 5/8" threads for the shouldered style drive studs.

Thanks Dave. I wondered if it were Lenco stuff or not since the carrier caps say Lenco on them. I'll see what I can find.
Rob

Yes, they are definately Lenco and they stopped making them about 20 years ago because they were failing. I might try re-threading a set of 5/8" nuts. My Ford guru machinist and I are going to see what we can come up with.
Rob

Call Robert Reehl at Reehl Racing equipment he has a lot of lenco stuff and sell used fuel racing equipment

Forgot number 626 815-8815

Sorry FC, just now saw the post. I'll call him. Thanks a million.
