[DeTomaso] Mustang rotor/stud problem resolved

I beg to differ.  The studs will grow and shrink as the rotor goes thru heat
cycles.  The nuts will eventually work loose and you'll loose a wheel.
Don't ask me how I know.

Not a problem- the studs are high-carbon steel so welds will soon crack. But

the lumps left behind on the hub may still keep the stud from turning when 
torquing a wheel nut. FWIW- J DeRyke
