Drum to disc spindle question
I have all I need to do the swap, but looking today when I slide the disc over the hub it looks like I wont have much of the stud left, do I need longer studs?

I assume you mean the wjeel studs? If so, I go by the track rules that there needs top be a few threads sticking out of an open lug nut when installed.

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

You will definitely want longer studs, I have used 12mm studs on my 67 firebird drum to disc conversion, it works and fits well so far.

If you used drum hubs you need to turn down the outside edge of the hub so the rotor goes up tight to the hub.

So I have to remove the hub, remove the studs and have it turned on a lathe?

I turned on a ordinary brake lathe that I machine rotors and drums in the shop.
