Carrera Camber Plate Studs

[planet6racing]

OK, I need some help finding something. I was setting the camber for my upcoming first race (I know, it's August and I haven't hit the track yet!), and I snapped one of the studs on my camber plates up front. So, I'm looking to replace all the studs.

Well, unfortunately this isn't a normal stud. It's a captive stud, similar to part number 93580A325 at McMaster-Carr. It is an M10X1.50 threaded stud.

Any idea where I can find 10 of these? If one broke, I'm replacing them all. I'd prefer a Grade 5 stud, but I'll take whatever can be found.

Thanks!

Bill, Carrera IIRC is now called Q1. I was on their site several months ago. Do a search for Carrera & or Q1. They are in Minnesota & will have what you need. Should be one day two at most.

Oh, believe me, I've googled. There is one hope (besides Carerra) that I've e-mailed, but I don't want this to keep me off track...

James, the stud that you show is a leveling stud. I don't think it will hold up to what I need.

Ahh gotcha. I did a quick check. Got a picture of one of the non broken ones I could use for refernce?

[planet6racing]

I don't have pictures now, but if you go to http://www.mcmaster.com and search for part number 93580A325, that is what it looks like.

Ahhh standard hardend stud thats M10x1.5.

Can you open up the hole to accept a larger stud? If so, you could then use an off-the-shelf wheel stud from ARP... like an 7/16" or M12X1.50

I've got a boatload of OEM M12X1.50's leftover that you can have since I've replaced my stock wheel studs with longer ARP studs to allow me to fit my wheel spacers.

[planet6racing]

These studs have a small spline, probably 12 little tangs if you will, that engaage the base metal.

I've thought of replacing them with wheel studs and it may come down to that. But, the part that goes over the stud would also have to be made larger and, while I haven't done the calculations yet, I'm not certain it will survive.

Oh, and I guess I should have described the part better. It's the Carrera Camber Plates listed in Pegasus' catalog.

[planet6racing]

Well, probably because I was at the doctor's office today and didn't have the energy to call them.

Big surprise here: QA-1 has discontinued that line and does not have any of the parts.

However, there is another fastener company that seems like they can help me, so if they have inventory, I should have parts!

***QA-1 has discontinued that line***

Interesting: Pegasus & ISC Racing must be selling their stock & that's it.
