Hi everyone. Looking for 7/16-20 left hand wheel studs for a 69 Dart with 10 inch drums. Need 5 fronts and 5 rears. Does anyone still make them? Thank you.

Why not replace them with right handed?

I used to get them at NAPA. Might as well try them.

I got some left hand studs from Ehrenberg on Ebay a couple of years ago. Don't know if he is still selling there but worth a shot.

I may have some in some discarded drums in the 'pile'. Let me know if you want me to check. I am fairly certain that I have some fronts in some old drums. Now whether they are rusted beyond use or not, I don't know.

I ran out of them a couple years ago and have not been able to find the correct ones again. I had probably 40 NOS studs, should have kept some...

Be aware that the front studs are different to allow for swaging the drum.

The only place I have found them are old NAPA stores with DORMAN orange bins. If you have old parts stores around you ask them...

Maybe I'm a heretic, but to me, LH studs & lug nuts are a pain in the butt.
Especially if someone else - who's not hip to them - ever needs to remove a wheel.
I have them on the original RR, but everything else they came on has been switched to RH thread.

Try a mom and pop store who sell Lawson products. Good luck!
