Cool 70's Rear Dana 60 Disc brake conversion

Hey guys tried to post this in the 79 area but not having any luck. I'm in the process of doing the rear disc brake conversion but I need to replace my wheelstuds. I bought the Doorman brand ones but the shoulder is just a bit tappered and will not hold the rotor to the rear hub. Any suggestions on a wheel stud from another vehicle that may work?

What rear rotors? You might try for a 77 chevy 3/4 ton front, common rotors for disk conversion.

Hi - Are your old backing plates and shoes the 12" x 2 1/2"? If they're not too rusty and worn out would you sell them to me? I need the backing plates and all the associated hardware but not the drums.
