Reply to "Wheel Stud ... stripped what to do"

Rear hub castellated nuts might only be different between swing arm and IRS, but I am not sure (it’s been 50 years since I played with swing arm).

Don’t you have an IRS rear?   That should take a castle nut for 68 - 74-ish (unless the earlier one has the same fine threads AND is a lower profile for your application).  If it is IRS you might check the nuts on Pelican Parts for a 924 rear - they might be lower profile, too, because they often ran Fuchs.  

The only difference I can think of, other than thread pitch or something, is whether early vs later are different heights.  Your original photos with the wire locks in place show a regular castle nut - nothing modified there, just the slot cut into the stub axle to accept the wire lock.

I don't have any center cap interference problems with my Fuchs, either front or rear, because I run wheel spacers.  I can see where if you have a long-ish drive stub on an IRS rear it could be a problem.  “Angle Grinder Time”!
