Mine is similar to Mike's but I covered the shock stud with a black sleeve. The sleeve was just a piece of emt conduit with the ID opened up just a tad.

Hi Ghost.
I have bad news, those are the factory shock studs, I sent the shock studs, axles with nuts and washers, wheel spacers, adjuster blocks (nickel only). and a few other bits out for triple chrome. The shop that did the chrome charged me about $250 for everything. The acorn nuts are just 18-8 industrial stainless steel that I detailed and polished, I got the acorns from McMaster-Carr, here's a link:

Ghost, I just saw the photo of your oil temperature gage in your thread, can you tell me about it, its a very nice piece and I like analog gages.

Thanks: Mike

If you paint them - the chrome will need to be scuffed up..., or preferably sanded off

Ghost
I`ll add after you scuff them up, spray with self etching primer, then paint

Thank You Sir - tells me exactly what I need to do - should I go that way

I Love McMasters

Side note

Just found out Summit Racing is putting in a big center down here - damn yeah

I'll respond to this over there if I may - so we keep OP's thread on kilter

The powder coated cover fits, just fine, without alteration. Sorry, haven't gotten a new photo account, yet. There were photos in earlier threads. And, I have the 12" Progressive 444s.
