Hi Brian
I had the same problem a few years ago. Studs are available at most trailer spares shops. Here around Newcastle they are available at ISP spares.

Thanks reddo & kaybee i went down to the local trailer shop today and bought some wheel studs but they to only had the ones with the 14mm base so they had to do. ($2 each) anyway i went home to drill out the 6 holes in the 2 hubs and found i only had 11mm and a 14mm drill bit so went and bought a 13mm bit to get the correct fit $20. all done now i sold this van on saturday (ebay) $610 18ft was going to be teenagers b/room but took up to much room in the yard so i put him in one of the other vans . most of the wheel nuts on one side were rusty from being down on the coast col they decided to snap rather than undo. thanks for your suggestions though Brian.
