I've had 2 Kadett C Coupes. I miss the first one. I shed a tear when it was crushed. I will have another.

well you obvioulsy need a slap then.... we bought a trailor of a guy who has a 2.3 chevette, prepped by some guru back in the late 70s/80s but the kadett front end is much nicer.

got any pics?

No, it was a long time ago in the age before digital. The only thing I have is an aerial photo with a bit of the bonnet showing from the front of a barn.

you guys are missing a simple solution! all you need is some threaded bar in the correct size, cut it down into two 3-4" lengths, fit them to opposing holes, put the wheel on, fit the wheel nuts in the remaining two, remove the threaded bars and refit the final two bolts, then torque them all up

Great, but not fast or simple. I've got them so I'm not left messing around in the dark trying to shove a bolt in a hole that I can't see or feel. Plus if you swap from steels to alloys, you need 2 lengths of bolt, whereas as long studs are good for both, you just wind the nut on further. Safe with silly spacers too.

you cant go wrong with a stud conversion. Wheel bolts are just a pain in the arse
