MG MGB Technical - Rear wheel studs

Can anyone give definitive lengths of rear wheel studs please.
Banjo wire BTB 253
Banjo steel BTB 207
Salisbury wire BTB 187
Salisbury steel BTB 229

I am looking for the longest, which I think are from the Banjo steel wheel axle.

Thanks

Banjo wire are 1.75" overall.

Wire wheel studs do tend to be shorter, as they are just holding the drum on, not the wheel.

Yes, BTB207 is longest by 1/4"

But very difficult to find on my experience, would love a lead!

Thanks Dave. Interesting. I had them on back order for years and had given up on them.
Who knows, maybe they might yet come up with some other long b/o items.

I have found some of the studs I needed in an old pair of rear hubs.

For info I have 3 different lengths, total length, 2.035in, 1.850in and 1.750 in. Not sure which the part numbers are, but my problem solved!!
