Can I put L-hand threaded studs on new disc brake rotors?

It's K-frame and front suspension resto time on my 1970 FM3 Satellite Conv. I am picky and would like to keep the L-hand threaded lug nuts on my car. I need to replace the original 2-piece rotors as one of them is too far gone. Can I just buy a new set of rotors and change out the studs on one side? If so can I just put original studs on it or is there another option out there ?
 
I am sure you can but good luck on finding them. If this is a special type restoration that will be judged I can see doing it. If not left threaded studs went by the wayside almost 50 years ago. Myself I would have all right threaded.
 
Maybe not gone by the wayside 50 years ago but you need to check the 'spline' size before going for it.....

Depends on knurl size. If the L studs are correct or larger then you can do it. You won't know until you remove a stud and measure hole diameter
 
I'm a RIGHT-hand stud, if any ladies reading this are interested to know.

Finding the correct size knurl in an L may be a problem for replacement rotors.
 
I have N.O.S. Hub & Rotor Assemblies--- but only one (1) piece --- last two (2) piece are sold, about 3 or 4 years ago, now....,

I have *** N.O.S. *** LEFTY Front Wheel Studs for DISC and Drum --- and, yes, they are Very Different....

P.M. me, as per forum rules, if interested.....
Yours, Craig.....
