Dummy Studs.....

[H-J]

Where can I buy some cheap dummy studs from to travel them in?

Have also posted in New Lounge

To make it easier to stud up when we get to events!

 

[Rambo]

I just got mine in a set with the studs and tap etc....cost about £20

Have you asked in your tack shop to see if they just sell the blanks ?

 

[H-J]

no I havent just thought somewhere on the net would sell them

 

[Gemma13]

Should be able to buy these like black screw in studs from a tack shop? They can be screwed in with an alan key i think? Either that or good old cotton wool!!!! lol

 

[dieseldog]

I wouldn't bother with them, especially if you are only going to use them in a horsebox.

 

[H-J]

We always use cotton wool or plugs, but wanted to make life easier by using blanks then just un screwing the blank and screwing in the jump stud

 

[H-J]

Well we would put them in the night b4 the event.

I get all my studs from this company http://www.flextol.co.uk/ and use stud K when Im travelling etc.
I pop them in the night before, far easier

Vx

The allen key ones are hellish, if you get a stone in the hole, you have lost the stud hole.

 

[Gemma13]

Yer they arnt the best..... cotton wool or just the plugs are the best....

Thats why I don't use them, there are stones small enough to get in. Kitchen Roll works really well

So does mud

 

[H-J]

Can someone send me a link of where I can get the blank ones from please??

 

[dieseldog]

I totally ignore my stud holes until I get to the show I've never not been able to get a stud in and Olympic is trained to hold his foot in my lap for the front ones and he rests the back foot on the floor for me so that I don't have to pick it up. I sit on my little chair and its all a bit civilised.

We use supastuds ones, but they are expensive, nearly £20 for the eight square flat studs. I searched high and low and could not find anything cheaper. Used to just tap holes at home and fill with oily cotton wool but even that was hard to pick out when she was excited at a show!

Cool thanks.

Says £2.02 for a stud so only need to get 8 so will be £16 ish.

Thanks again!

my farrier told me to use filters from cigarettes, never triend it though.

 

[K9Wendy]

Yeh they have a sale on luck you LOL.. great job, worth every penny..

 

[H-J]

One more thing!! Any body seen where you can buy the magnectic bowls from??

 

[Thistle]

get the magnetic bowls from DIY shops, much cheaper.

 

[Nic]

I couldn't find any in shops so got 50 off ebay for £1

 

[jellybaby]

Use ear plugs - much the best thing to use, come out v easy!

 

[jess_asterix]

cigarette filters! they work a treat just hard to get hold of if your not a smoker!

 

[sillygillyhorse]

I clean the stud holes out and check the thread the night before an event then plug with cigarette filters soaked in either baby oil or WD40, never had a problem as the filter is easily removed with a bradle (99p from wilkinsons and stronger than a farriers nail) but when using the blanks that required an allen key agree with others, they were hellish, more often than not ended packed with mud and grit an caused more trouble than they were worth.

Cut down 1/4 BSF (I think) bolts work very well. Small depth to head but easy to remove with spanner and no chance of stones/mud getting in.
