OK,
Thanks to Hollister I´ve managed to make my own brakestuds for the Race Lite.
Thanks a lot H
Here´s some photos how I did it.
First you need studs with 8 mm threads as shown here.
Then you fasten them to a vice.
After fastening them you drill out the inner threads. First I used a 5,5 mm drill, then I used a 6 mm drill.
Then you fasten them with the outer threads up. These won´t go in the frame, a long bolt will. So off they go with the help of a saw.
After sawing the threads off it will look something like this.
The end result! Now you can put the brakes on if you´ve lost the original studs.
Hollister said the original studs were alu and these are steel, but I´m really pleased with the results

Great thread, love how the bike turned out! Excellent work. Bet it rides great too.
Gee, thanks
I haven´t really tested it in anger yet.
It got finished last night, and I´m not really pleased with the front mech adjustment.
When I get to my usual trails, it´ll be interesting to see the difference between the Marz and the Bonty rake on the Judy I´ve got on my privateer.
I can tell the weight diff though...
