Must be a generic stud or something.. I ordered all my parts through a
regular US dealer and the part has that number I gave you on the
packaging.  Must be something different?

yes, I can always duplicate that without too much difficulty since it
looks like I'll be modifying some new stock studs for the shorter
ones...

Thanks, forgot to ask about that... will be helpful to know when I mod
the studs!  So in other words, 27mm of length from the surface of the
head to the end of the stud.
