[DeTomaso] MUSTANG ROTORS Stud size

[ProvaMo.com]

I have a bunch of wheel studs as personal spares, but if someone needs some
I probably don't need the 20-30 I have.  I even have one stainless stud...
probably a vendor item, rather than the rest that are OEM/deTomaso.

These are standard length, the longer (GT4/5-ish) ones I am keeping.

It's not merely the size that's the issue.   There is also the shape, grip 
length, etc.   

Generally, some studs are knurled right at the end and then smooth to pass 
through a rotor, prior to the threads starting, while others are configured the 
other way around, like the stock Pantera stud, which is smooth at the end, 
then knurled for a bit, then threaded.

Factory studs are ridiculously expensive, but some Pantera vendors carry 
identical made-in-USA replacements, and sell them for standard auto shop prices.

If you brought one of your stock studs in to an auto shop, chances are they 
wouldn't have a replacement on the shelf, but they might be able to match it.   
If you do this, let us know what you find out.
