Aftermarket C-Clips?!

[bobbys9350]

does anyone make aftermarket c clips i should get? i just got all my parts for my rear end including Moser 31 spline axles. I am wondering if anyone even makes aftermaet clips? also i need studs, should i get some kind of aftermarket stud? or just get stock replacement? if i get aftermarket which kind should i get? they need to fit under the center caps of pony rims, also do these require different lug nuts? any help would be GREATLY appreciated, thanks guys!

Not that I know of,you can get C-Clip eliminators which are safer anyway.

Do the axles have studs on them?You should be able to just cut off what up dont need,other wise ARP makes studs.Or you can use grade 8 bolts.

Not sure what size the stock studs are,but the studs on my Moser axles are 1/2".

How would you use BOLTS are wheel studs? lol... Anyway... Aftermarket c clips? Yeah, I've seen some made of titanium that weigh 1/2 an ounce lighter and improve 1/4 mile times by over 1 second.

Wheels studs are bolts.
The bolt heads are behind the axle head.

The problem with c-clips is not that there strong enouf,its that they fall out.

So weld em' up;I'd like to see you get your axles out of the rear end then,hun ?

Never seen wheel studs that "bolt" onto the axle flange. They are usually splined and are press fit.

Better look at a Moser axle that comes with studs.I just got my 5lug Moser axles and that is what they come with,bolts.

search ARP studs in summit. Maybe throw a "wheel" or "axle" word in there.

Mine from Strange are screw-in. There are two types, press-in or screw-in. It's not unusual.

I had my studs packaged with my axles -- I think I might call Moser and have them send you some. Otherwise, if it helps, stock studs are 1/2-20, and long studs are 3", stock length is 1 1/2" or so IIRC.

if i get 3" will they clear the pony rim center caps? and will i need new lug nuts? thanks!
