Yerp. Might want to call Ritter. He may have a set somewhere. Otherwise you are looking at well over $500 maybe over $1,000 now. Those things are like gold.

OK $2,250 for the 20 studs. Or is that $115 for the long studs on the top row?

Can you check for me but I thought yours should be 1/2 to 7/16 that's what the last w8 PST stuff was from CFE.

My set from Patterson were 1/2" to 7/16" 5 long and 5 short for each head. The CFE heads were drilled for 7/16.
I let my studs go with the heads. Didn't realize until I was well on my way I was not paid for the studs. That's what you get counting money in a thunder storm. The part that sucks is I was practically giving them away to start with.
Now listening to the prices of these studs. I really got screwed.

3/8 studs will not torque tight enough. These heads use 7/16.
Can't remember the exact torque but you go 85 lbs with stock 1/2" bolts. You can go a little more with 1/2" studs. 7/16 stepped studs went around 80 lbs. A 3/8 was only around 60 lbs.
10 head bolts at 85 lbs was not enough. Now you want to go with 18 3/8 head bolts. Would not recommend that.

Bret that appears to be a 1/2" stepped to 7/16". Are you saying this is a 1/2" stepped to 3/8". If that were the case you would not need to high dollar studs just thread reducers in the block like the OP suggested.
