Wheel studs with the following characteristics are excluded from the scope of this order:
A wheel stud that has an M12 diameter and 1.5RH thread spacing threaded stud with a 6mm-wide inset hex head measuring 49mm long, part of the threaded length being divided by a 5mm unthreaded band which creates an 11.5mm threaded section for insertion that is also M12 diameter and 1.5RH thread spacing.
A wheel stud that has an M12 diameter and 1.5RH thread spacing threaded stud with a 6mm-wide inset hex head measuring 49mm long, part of the threaded length being divided by a 5mm unthreaded band which creates an 11.5mm threaded section for insertion that is also M12 diameter and 1.5RH thread spacing.
A wheel stud that has an M12 diameter and 1.5RH thread spacing threaded stud with a 6mm-wide inset hex head measuring 80mm, part of the threaded length being divided by a 5mm unthreaded band which creates an 11.5mm threaded section for insertion that is also M12 diameter and 1.5RH thread spacing.
A wheel stud that has an M12 diameter and 1.5RH thread spacing threaded stud with a 6mm-wide inset hex head measuring 95mm long, part of the threaded length being divided by a 5mm unthreaded band which creates an 11.5mm threaded section for insertion that is also M12 diameter and 1.5RH thread spacing.
A wheel stud that has an M14 diameter and 1.25RH thread spacing threaded stud with a 6mm-wide inset hex head measuring 75mm, part of the threaded length being divided by a 5mm unthreaded band which creates an 11.5mm threaded section for insertion that is also M14 diameter and 1.25RH thread spacing.
A wheel stud that has an M14 diameter and 1.25RH thread spacing threaded stud with a 6mm-wide inset hex head measuring 92mm, part of the threaded length being divided by a 5mm unthreaded band which creates an 11.5mm threaded section for insertion that is also M14 diameter and 1.25RH thread spacing.
