While I do appreciate the purist approach, I won't be worried about that too much with this one. I just like the left hand lugs because they are quirky and IMO a cool part of the Jeep.

I have driver side left hand threads on one of my Jeeps but only because I used military surplus M38A1 axles, and didn't bother to change the studs. When I do replace the studs I always go with right hand thread.
Just be sure that if you ever take it to a tire store that the guy changing the tires knows about it, or you will probably get a few busted studs.

Everyone is thinking your brakes are the same as theirs on their CJ2A, you have M38, M38A1, Cj3b brakes where the drums are held in alignment with the 3 screws and sometimes rust causes them to be hard to remove, but you figured it out a BFH.
Your drums slip over the hubs (the advantage of those 9" brakes) No need to replace your studs unless you want to.

Jeeper50,
I don't think anyone thought the brakes were the same as a CJ2A other than Adventure Van when he drove out the wheel studs on the rear hubs. He does need to replace those. |

I just called Kaiser Willys about the difference in length of the knurl. They still insisted that it should work. I guess it depends on what you consider "working"? I don't want to knock out the wheel studs every time that I want to look at my brakes. In the end, they refunded my money and I don't have to ship them back. Anyone need any LH studs that will work for 2a and? I have 10.

Like I said, Kaiser Willys says a lot of things. In this case those studs would have "worked" they just aren't what you should use with the later drums. Perhaps KW really hasn't ever heard of the problem with that, I have seen other indications on their site that indicates a lack of knowledge at best or just plain poor representation of product. |

I get almost all of my jeep parts from either Walck’s 4WD or Ron Fitzpatrick Jeep Parts. I too only use K-W if I can’t find what I want elsewhere.

Morris 4X4 has dropped to the bottom of my list. I ordered a pair of seats early in July, which were listed on their site as "in stock". Original shipping date they gave me was middle of July, which came and went, then got an update that the shipping date was being pushed out to August 26 (yesterday). Today I got another update that the shipping date is being pushed out to Sept 16.
I told them that if they don't ship by Sept 16 I would be requesting a refund and would order from a supplier who actually does have them "in stock". They responded within a half hour, but nothing meaningful in the response. My go to suppliers in order of preference: 1) QTM 2) Walcks 3) RFJP QTM is at the top because they are reliable, and just down the road a bit from me. Walcks is above RFJP only because they have more for civilian Jeeps, but both Walcks and RFJP are knowledgable, reliable, and carry quality parts.

I don’t use QTM, as much as I’d like to, because neither my phone nor my computer will let me access their web site. They say it’s “not secure”. ??

QTM's website has some problems, it doesn't seem to be as up to date as their Ebay store, and I have never been able to get PayPal to work with it.
I usually drive down there to get stuff, especially if it is something large. It is always interesting to see what new project Matt has going on, and to take a look around for stuff I might want. For smaller stuff I sometimes buy from their Ebay store. Their prices are usually better than most, quality is usually top notch, and stuff I order always gets here quick. They often have hard to find NOS parts too. I have bought a lot of stuff from them, and was disappointed only once with a CJ5 cowl seal that didn't fit.

For Civilian Jeep parts call Walcks. CALL them, talk to them, they know their stuff.
