You will need tapered nuts and im pretty certain its 40mm studs.They dont need to be longer than standard when using carats.

Cheers, now have studs, it is best/easiest to wind them in using a double nut method ( with thread lock) and which type of thread lock fluid is strongest? Cheers. Tim

Thanks Rob, just done mine this way with 270 . Apparently 270 and 271 are the same.
