Build question

I keep seeing "stud extenders" listed with cub style cylinders.

why do they do that instead of replacing the studs with the correct length ones?

[ZillaFreak]

Have you seen the FB group? That is why. The new wave of banshee owners are stupid, lazy and cheap. Fuck, I have had people tell me a hollow part is stronger than a solid one. Just had some tard compare a $7 chinese petcock to a dual pingle. These kids are ruining the sport.

So I should replace the short studs with heat treated studs the right length, and 12 point arp nuts with hardened washers.

nope.

well, what type of heat treated metal are we talking about?

I am thinking some #5 studs, copper washers and #5 flange nuts.

grade 8 or the improved arp stainless version.

Grade 5 are nice. Look into them. Plus they are lighter

[Toybreaker]

I will, thanks.

Is it bad that i have enough Ti stock in my barn to make all this? Just need a lathe that can cut metric threads.

What grade you got? how stock you have?

Use the extenders I would bet to say at least 50% or higher snap while removing them

6 feet of 1", 3.5 feet of 2.5"

I am pretty sure I can get them out without breaking them. even if I do break 1 or 2 I have a bridgeport mill so drilling it out correctly won't be an issue.

round or bar? hollow?
