Title: left hand thread Wheel Bolt Needed
Post by: Gran Turismo on January 29, 2011, 03:32:27 PM
Put a little too much muscle on to my '71 1750 rear wheel and snapped the bolt.
As it turns out it was a left hand thread, unlike my '69.
been looking for left hand thread bolts but can only source right hand.
Does anyone know where I can get them from??
Thanks!

I have no idea about local suppliers - have you tried the usual Alfa parts people in your area?  Turin Imports in SA, Milano Wreckers in Melbourne, Manning Motors in NSW, Italian Job, Monza Motors etc - look up the sponsors page on the club division websites.

Overseas, I notice that Alfaholics list LH threaded studs on their suspension page:

How many rear LH  thread wheels studs are you after ?
Do you require nuts as well ?

Just a quick note, I'd avoid buying the Alfaholics studs. I bought two of them to replace two rusty studs on my 73 2000. Both of them sheared off with minimal force when tightening.

Not good! I've gone back to original used studs.
