Thank you for the thoughtful reply.

I had no idea. Thanks for sharing this. Perhaps this was obvious to the mechanical engineers in the crowd.

So, the height of this stud in this position is 35mm.
When you say "height", to me this suggests the length of the exposed part of an installed stud.

If this is true, I've been measuring studs incorrectly. I assumed the length listed in the catalog was the total length of the uninstalled stud. Similar to measuring the length of bolts (not including the head).

Thanks for the offer. I might revert back to you on this one.
