Aluminum ball studs #4447

Post by KidAgain »

Okay guys did some searching for these #4447 blue ball studs and I dont want to pay 35$ for a pack so whats equivalent to these from another manufacturer. Not worried about the SAE or Metric threads its going in plastic..................................

Thanks
Jake

i have also read that the schumacher re-release top cat has ball studs that are metric thread but the same ball size as associated.

also, dubro makes the same balls but are only available in pairs.

Yes aluminum is preferred, when they say titanium nitrite that’s just a coating on a steel ball stud?

I need 8 of them anyone have spares.
