Here are some more information for Racing Wheel Studs:
So you want to make a door opening into a room. But how do you go about it.
Simple.
A standard door opening in the UK is 916mm clear opening. This allows for a wheel chair to access the property and is a compulsory requirement.
First things first, mark out an opening 916 wide on your sole and head plate ensuring that you keep everything plumb and level. Next mark out the position of your cripple studs, (two number to either side of the opening) and your king stud, (to either side of the cripple studs).
Make a beam 1068 long. Cut two king studs at 2301 long. Cut 4 cripple studs at 2076 long. Now we have the materials to make the door opening.
But first rewind, I can hear you asking. Where did all those figures come from? Ok let me explain.
The beam length came from the width of the door opening 916 + the number of cripples 4 x 38 (width of cripple) = 152. So 916 +152 = 1068.
The wall is load bearing and needs to be full height. So we take the full height of the wall 2.453 less the top and bottom plates 152mm to get the height of the stud, which is 2301mm.
Are you with me so far? OK then.
The cripple studs are set to carry the beam, which will be placed into the wall at the top directly under the top plate. The beam depth is 38+ 225 + 38 = 301 mm deep. So to find the length of the cripple we take the height of the wall 2.453 - 76 (depth of the bottom plate) = 2.377 less the depth of the beam 301 = 2076mm for the cripple stud.
Now we can start to put it all together. First nail two cripples together making sure that all edges are flush together. It is best to use a side stitching technique to prevent the nails from penetrating through to the other side. Once you have this done for both sets of cripples nail them to the king stud keep the bottom of the stud and cripples flush and plumb.
Now take your stud and cripple pack and fix it into the wall, once again taking care to keep everything plumb and level. Repeat for the second pack. Once you have these fixed into place and are satisfied they are secure take your beam and fit it into place over the cripples, nailing with a side stitch pattern and face nailing through the king stud to secure the beam in place.
Finally place a cross rail at 2050mm from the finished floor across the door opening to finish the door opening. And that is how to frame a door opening.

Remembering Escape The Winning Stallion
ESCAPE
By Sabby Bharathan
Two men ran out of the stables into the dark creepy night. The moon cast silver shadows on the trees and the field across Mckay’s farmhouse. The grey clouds moved lazily across the sky. The soft breeze was a welcome treat for the two that came to a sudden halt near the fence border separating the side road and the farmhouse.
‘Do you think it’ll work?’ asked the man trying to haul himself over the fence.
‘I should bloody think so, when I do a job man, I do it for results and by heck I’ll have it’
‘Hey Ralph did anyone see us though?’
‘How would I know it was pitch black in the stables, you were there weren’t you? I guess old man Rodney don’t do things by half eh? If we hadn’t used the saw we would be losing out on big money. We can’t take any chances and this is our last one. There’s a lot at stake, and we cannot lose’
They both hauled themselves over the fence and ran to their get away car.
A hooded man sitting behind the wheel asked anxiously letting out a deep sigh.
‘How did it go boys?’
‘All done boss! You’ll see for yourself’
‘Escape won’t be winning at the Cheltenham race tomorrow or ever again and that’s a guarantee. I’ve slashed his feet making it impossible to win any race. This will wipe the smile off Mckay’s face. The bastard’s never lost a race in the last 3 months, not since Escape started racing.’ The same man spoke with such venom banging his hand hard on the dashboard.
Peter Mckay came here regularly to let his horses loose in the cool of the summer’s night after the races. The sight was enough to take any sane man’s breath away, there was something in these moonlit nights, and they tell different stories every single night. He loved to relax here with some chilled beer away from the pressures of city life and his business. Property business didn’t interest him as much as these mute creatures did. A sound of shuffling feet moving on the dried hay caught his attention and slowly exhaling he waited.
Kelly Franklin.
Just then he wanted to know everything that happened at the Franklin house. Did she tell the truth or make up an excuse? Did she come out to be with him or was this supposed to be the start of endless stolen meetings? Oh nobody would blame Kelly for any of this he was sure the fingers would almost certainly, be pointing at him.
‘Sweet Kelly is that you?’
‘Yeah, it’s me Peter. Nobody followed me so stop worrying.’
‘I didn’t think it would be this easy. I thought they would want to know where you were or send a chaperone with you in order to protect you from evil monsters.’
‘Well as you know I have some magical powers in my tongue that would make it impossible for mother to refuse, as for dad he was half drunk and the last time I saw him he was staggering up to bed and so, yes it was easy.’
‘Hey listen can you hear anything?’
‘Where? Oh what’s that sound?’ A sound of a horse neighing and thudding could be heard just outside the stable door.
‘Move aside quick! Here let’s open this door’ Peter shoved past Kelly and opened the wooden door that didn’t allow any visitors in the narrow space.
‘Hurry turn the light’s on’ he commanded as he walked quickly past three horses in a row checking each section until he reached the last in line.
‘Holy shit! Escape’s bleeding, Kelly quick call the vet or better still get my horse carrier round, I’ll have to take him straight to the vet.’ Kelly sprinted off and in the meantime Peter tended to Escape, his favourite stallion – praying the stud wouldn’t die on him. The amount of blood Escape lost - his chances of survival seemed very bleak.
‘Sorry Mckay there’s no way Escape is ever going to run again, you will have to decide what to do with him’ after injecting the painkiller the veterinary surgeon instructed Peter Mckay. Shaken by this news Peter just nodded his head. What can a man do when he finds out that his best stallion would no longer be able to run in races or permanently be out of play?
The vet ushered Peter out as he got working on Escape.
Two hours went by and there was no come back from the vet. Restless and impatient Peter decided against barging in to the theatre. Surgery and five hours later…
‘Escape will live!’
All the Christmas’s came early for Peter at that moment.
‘What are the chances of Escape having prosthetic legs?’
‘Why?’ ‘I do hope you are not thinking of racing him again are you?’
‘No but I want him to have them so he has the freedom to roam around as much as he wants. Anyway it shouldn’t really stop him from doing anything he wants, even mating’
‘Oh it won’t. But I think we can come up with something and it’s a miracle he survived’. He patted Peter’s shoulder and left again.
Three months later ‘Come on boy you know you can do it!’
‘Once more’ Peter prompted.
Escape reluctantly struggled to his feet and trying to stand up he fell again and his huge weight nearly crushed Kelly if Peter hadn’t pulled her in time. She was now Kelly Mckay, their relationship had taken a fast forward propulsion and they were married in the nearby church with a few of their friends and relatives. Everyday Kelly saw Peter kiss Escape immediately as he saw him.
‘You love that horse more than anything else don’t you?’ Kelly asked jealously.
‘Yes I do if I’d taken more care of the surroundings as much, he’d still be winning races.’ Peter said sadly.
‘But I won’t give up hope until he’s able to run again, maybe he won’t ever win, but he’ll always be a winner in my eyes’ Peter concluded.
Mango Ripple played in the front yard while Escape watched him. Escape had given birth to a beautiful stud, after being coupled with a top class female mare and the result was Mango Ripple. Escape moved about freely now. It was 2 years since the incident.
‘Would you hold the baby for a minute love, I’ve got to check the saddles and boots before the race on Saturday’ Kelly lifted her daughter Jade from Peter’s arms’. She went on her way checking cubicles after cubicles making sure the horses were okay.
Jade got heavier by the minute and so after a while Kelly let her down.
‘Peter I’m gonna feed these four’ she shouted across to Peter who had disappeared into the store where they kept all the equipment - from a saddle to boots to hats.
Jade got comfortable in the middle of the field, playing by herself. Kelly checked on her twice making sure her baby was okay while she carried on with the fodder for the horses.
A shrill scream sounded in the eerie silence followed by a dog barking and a horse neighing which brought Kelly sharply to her feet and right into the field in no time and Peter appeared on the field from somewhere as if by magic. At a quick glance Kelly found Jade in the middle of the field and Escape stood over her barricading her with his legs. The first thing Kelly noticed was that Escape was covered in blood. Jade was lying on her side. Kelly couldn’t be sure if she was still alive!
"Oh my God" Escape had killed her baby she was sure of that.
‘That evil horse should never ever do that to any other child.’ Mumbling to herself Kelly ran to the store where they kept all things needed for the horses and people. Also a shot gun. Without another thought before she changed her mind Kelly loaded the gun and ran to the interior of the farm. She was breathing heavily her lungs were about to burst. She felt a strong inner urge that only a mother felt when she loses her baby to a monster and here in this farm it was the horse, Escape. She knew she’d never forgive Escape for killing her baby so mercilessly. And Escape stood still rooted to the spot.
Kelly sneakily crouched on the floor to get near her lifeless baby. Tears streamed down her face but she didn’t care.
‘He will not know what’s hit him and he deserves all he gets.’ Kelly pulled the trigger. One shot that was all it took!
‘Kelly you stupid bitch what did you do that for?’ A frantic Peter asked as he rushed forward to pick his daughter Jade before the huge beast crushed her.
‘He’s killed my baby’ I’m not gonna let any horse take my child and sit back and watch the scene.’
‘But he hasn’t, he didn’t.’ Peter lay baby Jade aside who was still breathing, then he turned and hugged Escape tightly sobbing loudly now.
‘What do you mean? I saw blood on him with my own eyes’ Kelly asserted.
‘Jade was under him, didn’t you see Pete?’ Kelly questioned with conviction.
‘Yes he was protecting her like any other house pet!’ Peter was shouting and crying at the same time. ‘You shouldn’t have shot him Kelly, he’s all I had’. Peter broke down and fell on Escape once again.
Escape laid there - his body lifeless. Peter pulled Kelly with him to show her the dead rotweiller on one side of the field. A scuffle of some sort had taken place and Escape being the big horse didn’t need any prompting and with supernatural strength he protected the little baby that he’d come to love. Escape didn’t move away from baby Jade even when the rotweiller took a bite at him, grazing Jade’s legs Escape wrestled the rotweiller with all his might and finally stood on the dog causing suffocation. The patch of field turned burgundy with the sand mixed in with blood. Kelly ran to her baby and hugged her to her bosom and showered a thousand kisses.
‘Jade sweetheart, mummy’s back, open your eyes baby.’
‘Huh huh…’ whimpered jade with baby hiccups listening to her mother’s voice.
‘Oh baby mummy’s so sorry to have left you here all by yourself’
‘I promise you that I’ll never do that again, please forgive me’
But you killed my one and only horse who ever made me proud. Peter could not stop crying. How and when does anyone stop hurting when you lose your favourite pet? Even after his legs were amputated so horrifically Escape had borne a beautiful stud horse.
Suddenly he realised that Mango Ripple was orphaned not having anybody to look after him. Peter made a decision that would change his life in the foreseeable future.
The camera’s flashed and the winner’s trophy that Peter Mckay held close to his heart was the best tribute he gave to Escape today. The criminals who slashed Escape were behind bars. They got caught red handed when they tried to abduct the winner Buckaroo after Cheltenham festival. Mango Ripple was trained without restraint by the best trainer in the country. At first Peter couldn’t see the same traits in Mango inherited from his father Escape, but slowly he observed that Mango was becoming more determined to get over the hurdles of the steeplechase for which he was being trained to perfection.
Escape should have been the rightful owner of this trophy but Peter was happy for Mango, his baby.
‘This one is for you and the next and the next I promise’ Peter shouted to the winds, as thought it would take those words personally and deliver them to Heaven, where his champion horse Escape was right this minute, he was sure of that.

i am about to buy some 4 stud alloys for my 06 new shape astra could anyone tell me if kc racing alloys will fit mine or do i need a fitting kit ????????
all 4 lug/stud wheels aren't the same. You need to ind out the bolt pattern of your car and that of the wheels. Then you also need to take into consideration specs like offset.
