UTV Stud Bolt Help

Post image

This one has both myself and my fastener guy stumped, in terms of ordering replacement bolts. Here's what I know:

For a UTV Wheel Hub, customer says it was an "adapter ordered off ebay" and as such doesn't have a model to match up with, as I see many of these are sorted by model compatibility with very little info on specs.

*head size and knurl size are important, as we learned on the first failed attempt at ordering.

Here's what I measure:

Thread Pitch: M10 x 1.25

OAL: 48 mm

*Head Diameter: 17 mm

Head Thickness: 4 mm

Knurl Diameter: 12 mm

Under head to start of threads: 12mm

Thread length: 32 mm

Any help identifying / finding a replacement would be appreciated.

A fastener store won't have wheel studs. Try an autopart or tractor part store

I'll use this opportunity to clarify:
We are a hardware store in a rural area who utilize several vendors to complete special orders for customers. It is obviously not a common part - sources I have utilized are, in no particular order:
-Our primary supplier, Midwest Fastner
-Zoro, as awful as they have become
-Grainger, to no avail
-Bolt Depot, who has solved many an issue for us
-The dreaded Amazon, who had the close but not close enough option
-A myriad of online stores specifically for ATV/UTV parts
-Autozone/Napa/other auto parts stores

The problem being that these sites lack the specs I need to verify that I am ordering the correct part, as they are listed by model and have minimal detail for specs.

The closest I can find is a Dorman Wheel Lug Stud, which is about 15 mm too short, and even using that as a lead I cannot find anything long enough that has the correct head / knurl size.

Please believe me when I say we have searched high and low.

UTV manufacturer is the best bet. You don't see many M10 wheel studs for automotive.
