Not finding genuine knuckle studs anywhere ?

Any pointers that might get here quick

Depends how quick you mean. If I was doing mine again I’d get these High Strength Knuckle Stud kit - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

Thanks Lorin but I meant soon like I’ve lost one and the 3 others had wound themselves off a way so it’s a wonder they never sheared given the Manx TT course is no motorway .

Ordered some from roughtrax for the time being and blaming myself because I remember running out of brake cleaner when I rebuilt swivel hubs a while back so the studs went in “temporarily” well lubricated ….. and then I forgot about it

I bought some of the RT ones a while back, when I was in the exact same situation as you. Not convinced they are the same strength as the OEM ones. Didnt feel confident while I was torquing them down.
Keep them to get me out of trouble, but replaced the missing one with OEM.
Someone like Julian at Overland might have them in stock?

Because they never sheared I guess I’ve got 3 good ones to support the aftermarket stud until genuine turn up .

On the bright side driving a 30 year old Pajero while I wait for delivery refreshes my respect for my 28 year old Cruiser which feels tight and precise by comparison .

They took a week to get from roughtrax to this godforsaken rock and now I find I’ve lost a calliper mounting bolt as well
