fwiw, I only saw those bent ones in 72-4 challengers that I saw at the junkyard. Also, my spare stud is exactly 6" long so that's strange that this one is longer @ 6.5". Multiple AVL's I guess which would not be uncommon. I thought someone else chimed in earlier that theirs was 6" also. I think we may have a case of spare stud envy going on here?

Eric, if you look at the other post on space saver stuff you'll see that I ended up with the 15" SS without realizing it. It will fit on the 6" stud but just barely. At this point I am just gonna live with it and get another as time permits.
