1970 Cutlass Hubs

I'm Trying to do the front brakes on my car and the right side hub has 3 different size studs, and the drum I bought is fitted for 7/16 bolts which is what they are on the left side and what they are supposed to be , But the other side has 1/2 in studs. Has anybody had experience With the hubs from OPGI, Or am I better off going to the junkyard looking for one.

I don't know where you are, but here in the mid-Atlantic there are very few wrecking yards that will have a 45 year old car in them. More to the point, why not just replace the incorrect studs in the current hub?

I have the correct studs but when I banged one of the 1/2 inch ones out, the hole was too big for the 7/16 inch stud.

There is a junkyard about an hour from me that has a 71 and a 69 but the cars are jammed in tight and it would be really hard to the hubs from one of them.

Could you ask the wrecking yard folks to pull the car out for you, or make some space?
