Help: looking for a 7/16" stud

[sweetdiesel]

7/16" x 2 inch or 2.5" preferably SS but not fussy

Ive seached ARP site blower studs and some head studs nothing seems to match what I am looking for

6 point or 12 point will work,but i dont need rocker arm studs

they have to be studs! Just like head studs just shorter



thanks for any help

What's this for?

Turbo pedistall spacer to turbo

As of now I have 7/16" ready rod and dont like it! the nuts are hard to get at and I seen that Mcrat and John Boy used ARP bolts on older set ups and thought that would be a great idea

BTW Simon, just in case you find some, BLOWER studs are generally made from aluminum. there made this way as a last resort, in a blower explosion the studs will rip apart to save from exploding the blower case or tearing up the intake in the event the burst panel isnt enough! Saw you said stainless, so just incase strenth is a concern!:hug:

On Edit, ya i wouldnt use them for that, plus heat will makem weaker

Fine or coarse thread Simon?
On our buddy Chris' site he posted, check under Head Studs. There are 7/16" x 2 1/2" coarse x fine thread studs that would work I think.

Small Block Chevy head studs (the short ones at the bottom) are 2-3/8" long.

Thay are fine thread on 1 side & coarse on the other.

Coarse thread 5/8" lg.
Fine thread 1" lg.

I'm sure ARP will sell you some separately.

The more "explosion proof" Simon builds his stuff the better....:rofl:

If you are talking about pedestal bolts:

I actually helicoiled the holes, then put in 10mm set screws with flange nuts:

7/16= .437 OD
10mm= .394 OD, to give a little more play.

Metric so I don't have to find an inch wrench.
Flange nut so I can use a smaller wrench, more room.
Set screw so I can put an allen in it and screw it down if I have trouble removing charger.
