If that is a pull in stud then i think your hub is knackered and you need to be replacing it.

How does the head of a pull through stud come fan enough through the hub to have that much thread through a double ended nut?

Peter, I had thought of that but then forgotten so thank you. Before they go on I will do that.

Use the longer studs available from Zeus and others.

A longer stud will not solve the problem if the head is coming through the hub or has failed.  I have just ordered an 18mm end mill in case I need to replace any studs when I fix the broken bolt on my hub.  ( I have an axle set as spares). 

Note when the military replaced screw in studs with pull through they used standard size studs and double ended nuts.  Although they look short with the but on they are safe.  They also used standard length studs with Wolf wheels.

I used  the splined stud to replace a couple of threaded ones on my Series One and the studs have the same threaded length showing as the screw in ones, just short of the end of the Double cone nuts. For all intents they look the same as the screw in ones.  . I did recess the back of the flange to take the head as per LR fitment.

That is why I have bought an end mill to use in my pillar drill although with the longer zeus studs I shouldnt need to.

... I did recess the back of the flange to take the head as per LR fitment.

That is the significant action required to see the visible stud the same length as the original screw in 9/16" studs. If the flange is not recessed the flanged & splined stud appears 2 or 3 mm shorter than the originals.

While sat in the waiting room, I recall hearing a couple of MOT mechanics arguing about the double ended studs on Dormy. One was saying there should be stud threads clear of the wheel nut and the other pointing out that if they weren't double ended nuts then there would be stud threads exposed.

Fortunately the second guy won the argument and I drove out with the MOT certificate.

Some of the studs were original screw-in and some were replacement pull-through.

I agree -- who knows, perhaps the previous owner who fitted the pull through studs undercut too much for the head

I am always surprised that no one ever mentions the difference in hubs as the later hub for a pull in stud is approx ¹/₁₆" thicker than the corresponding hub for the staked studs [more than an¹/₁₆" if you measure the early hub from the face to the bottom of the groove for the staking].

Obviously, because so many have done the conversion to the earlier hubs with no dire consequences, the hubs were over-engineered to such a degree that the thinner cast is not a problem  -- unless a gorilla gets on the wheel brace

That's unusual using a Stromberg carburettor.

Is that a HNJ cab adapter or one from ACR

THe 2.6 6 cylinder engines use a Stromberg

 I added this cast aluminum step to the tailgate rather than convert the tailgate to a swing away design.  I also added 4 bench seats to this 109 2 door soft top.

That is ingenious!
I have the same tow hitch and make any passengers stand on it to climb over the closed tailgate. Your solution provides much more elegant disembarkation.

It is one of HNJ's and they were designed to support both the SU and the Stromberg 175.
