Why not just get the right studs from Bus Depot (or more expensively from the VW Dealer)? 211 501 627 A - 34.5mm (1.36") long - $3.95usd ea (Dealer gets $11.25usd ea!) http://www.busdepot.com/details.jsp?partnumber=211501627A A quick check with my VWOA contact says: 1 - Vancouver Depot 65 - Toronto Depot Call Bus Depot and see what they have or can get with that same VW number. It's possible that Dorman, a major US manufacturer of wheel studs for the aftermarket *may* list this, but I don't remember ever seeing it in their catalogs. The wheel nuts (N0201121) are much more readily available, such as at Bus Depot: http://www.busdepot.com/details.jsp?partnumber=N201121 Don't even think of using the pieces that CIP offers - incorrect length to start with.<http://www.airheadparts.com/viewDetail.asp?strMasterCat=&idproduct=6201> -- Jim Thompson 84 Westfalia 2.1 "Ole Putt" 73 K Ghia Coupe "Denise" 72 411 Station Wagon "Pug" oldvolkshome@gmail.com http://www.oldvolkshome.com ********************************** On 11/1/06, neil <goofymuso@yahoo.ca> wrote: > > Hi all. > > I need new rear wheel studs/nuts for stock wheel > setup. > > Nothing at Bow Wow.
