Re: 1929 rpu front and rear wheel studs
Early and later hubs and wheels were not compatible. This was discussed in the Service Bulletins, page 328. To quote: "Do not install a new wheel on an old brake drum as the new wheel shell is too long for the old hub and there will not be sufficient threads to hold the wheel bolt nuts securely." The opposite is true when installing old wheels on the new hubs. The shell is the outside diameter of the inner part of the wheel where the spokes attach. It butts up against the hub to make a secure mounting for the wheel. Longer studs will not fix this problem. You will need new brake drums. Buy or borrow a copy of the Service Bulletins to see the problem.
