Measured up the old cracked wheel stud and here's what I got (all in imperial, assuming these would have been made to imperial meaurements to begin with):
0.540 - 0.543 in diameter along the straight splined part - you'll see from the photo linked to above there's some rust and wear here - so at a guess it was 17/32" to begin with.
1 1/3" long overall from inside of flange to end of thread.
The thread takes new Mk1 Escort wheel nuts.
The known Mk1 Escort stud is 1/2" diameter at the straight spline and 1 7/8" long overall.
To answer the question of where I am, I'm in Tipperary. Both local motor factors I've tried have told me they can't source new wheel studs. I was directed to a restorer who specialises in Escorts (hence I have Escort parts to compare with, and replacments for everything else I need).
So, it looks like I'm off to t'internet for these wheel studs, hence I need to have some idea what I'm looking for to start with...
