Needed: Left Hand Stud for front disc brake 70 Challenger

[Robert1050]

When I bought my car, the first thing I did was put it in the air on jack-stands to check the brakes.  The front, driver's had one stubborn lug-nut that wouldn't come off, so I grabbed a breaker-bar and finally got it off by breaking the stud.  After looking at the pieces that were left, I discovered that someone had replaced that one lug-nut with a right-hand one.  No wonder.  9 left-hand studs on the driver's side and one right-hand stud.  Probably done by an uneducated tire-store guy.

So, anyone have just one left hand front stud (disc brake) available for sale for a 1970 Challenger?

Thanks!

or done by a guy who didn't want to run around with a missing lug nut. For future reference look for the hash mark on the lug nut to denote left handed threads. New ones have LH on them, but the old ones just have a mark across the corners. I have seen rotors put on wrong and flipped left to right before as well. Torqueing it until it breaks seems kind of funny since you are bad mouthing the uneducated tire guy who probably wasn't even born when cars still had left handed lug nuts. I have bought the LH studs at the local parts house easily.
Even LH lug nuts can be had locally. It is the chrome ones that get tricky and often have to be bought in complete sets to get them to match.

I have eight of them. I need the length of the threads and the length of the unthreaded portion and an overall length. Send measurments to
