anyone interested in stainless window studs for their doors-they wont be the tapered ones like from gcr or atlantic british but they should not be $80 also! monday i am looking into have them made-it seems pretty simple to me-one side 8mm and the other end 10mm. just want to get a count if anyone is interested?

okay-i found what i believe to be a descent price for a set of 4-between $36-$38.shipping to you would be about $4-$6.they would be made of 304 stainless steel and be replica of the current window stud.i am shipping one of my old studs in the morning and should have a firm price by friday i am going to order 20 or so sets to save us a little more money so anyone else interested i will have a couple extra. if you have posted your name on this thread and this is to more than you would like to spend please let me know-pm or email or some thing just let me know.

Do yours fit more easily than the stock studs? It's a biatch and a half to get my tops off with their rusty stock studs. I was going to order the GCR studs but they've been out of stock.

chris-i dont know if they are easier than the stock studs-but i do know they wont be rusty (but my guess is they should be easier). should know more in a couple of weeks after we recieve the studs.they are also half the price of the gcr studs

all sets where sent out first thing friday morning.guys that paid fedex i wil email you your tracking numbers right after i submit this post. the studs may need to be cleaned off a little-may have a little cutting oil and shavings on them. be carefull on installing,so you dont cross thread,stainless is easier to cross thread than regular steel. may want to clean out the hole in the window frame with a tap if you have one-just to make sure the threads are clean in the window frame.thanks again to every body that order a set.i think the stainless studs turned out really nice-let me know what you guys think after you recieve them.i have 12 sets left so anybody else needs a set let me know.
