Subject:longer studs available again
From:Benjamin Tan

Hi gang,

Last month, I arranged to have a couple of hundred of the longer studs from 
my parts guy. There were quite a few folks who wanted some but they ran out. 
Today I got a call that they just got more on hand.

These are the racing type w/ a nipple in the end to aid in wheel mounting. 
You cna cut-ff the nipple if you don't like it. (No. Mike. Not that kind of 
nipple). They are about 12 mm - 14 mm longer than stock not counting the 
nipple (about � inch longer). The base plate is slightly smaller than the 
stock ones. Perhaps some of you who got them last time can share their 
experience in fitting them. I haven't tried mine since they ran out last time.

They cost $2 each plus shipping. 10 studs cost about $3.95 to ship via USPS. 
20 studs are about $5.50 to ship. My parts guy does not charge me any sales 
tax. That's 8.5% where I live. Apparently this is a good price. The first 
batch or 200 that I arranged to obtain lasted less than an hour.

Pmail me if you have any interest in this. Please be kind and patient since I 
am doing this only as a courtesy to the lists. I am not making any money on 
the deal.
