stainless threaded studs
 

Anyone have a source for stainless threaded studs? The kicker is coarse on one end, fine on the other. Many places sell coarse-coarse, but as soon as you ask for the fine thread on the nut side, nobody seems to have them. Of coarse Merc has them for $23/stud.

i bought mine from bam for 1/2 of that.... and i THINK ARP had some similar

Try a company called "Everything Stainless". I cant find the phone # they have a great assortment of fastners including arp studs and bolts.

Are they for carb hold-down studs? If so, I think Summit or any local race shop has them. I believe that's where I got mine, if that's the use.

Thanks guys. Steve the price I gave was from Marc's web site. Maybe I should call Marc and see if he gives a quantity discount. I am actually looking for drive and gimbal studs. 9/16" and 5/8".

Excellent question,I couldn't find any aftermarket source for stainless last year either,Smitty

ARP makes them for headers as well

Call a couple of machine shops ......They should be able to make what you need at a reasonable price . You can specify the alloy or supply the material .....McMaster Carr is one source ...a little pricey but convenient .

McMaster was the first place I checked. I think I am on the phone with them weekly for this project. They have plenty of coarse-coarse studs but no coarse-fine. And 9/16" they only carry in 18-8 grade, not 316. Initially they thought they could get them, but then they no-quoted me. I have the capablility to make them myself, have lathe will travel, but with a long list of fabrication items, I am trying to make the balanced choice between time and money. Worst case I guess is I'll buy an extra long coarse-coarse threaded stud and then cut the fine thread the other side. I talked to Matt at TNT and he thought most of the Merc Studs were roll threaded verus cut.
