stud piloted studs and nuts

the studs I put on were aluminum to steel studs and they fit fine with a small amount of space so they did not bottom out and did a nice job centering the drum . when I get the paper work I can get the parts #'s

These drums nowadays where 1 drum fits the front,tag and drive axles on stud pilot wheels are a pain to deal with since stud pilot wheels and axles are becoming a thing of the past,I sure like my hub pilot wheels set up.I bought a new drum from Prevost that came with the metal spacers lol for a extra $22.00

Great Hey Dave send Clifford the bill. He said he doesn't mind pay the higher price.
Here is a case when "more" is "less"

For the china stuff you pay less but get more(virus)

When it comes to bus parts and labor cheap is not always better

my guy that helps me do the big stuff is cheap at $50 an hour but he can drink a lot of beer in the time he is here and most evenings he is only here for 2 hrs or so but in that time he can do about 5 times what I can do but that is with my help . so in the end I plan a lot of repairs in that time as he never sits still

but if any one else wants to pay for the parts that would be nice but I do not be leave in that .
pay your own way in this fund me world we live in

Here a photo of the ones removed from Gary Hatt Eagle they were longer than the thickness of the steel wheel and would bottom out against the drum
