Good luck

Note that the original poster is asking about "case studs (not head studs) for the inner studs on both halves of the case".

I'll be done measuring a case today or tomorrow. When I'm done I can measure the length (of the exposed part) of the internal studs for you. Let me know if you need me to.

Porsche specifies their stud lengths as the exposed part i.e. a stud that measures say 47mm end to end might be listed as 35mm by Porsche. This always struck me as odd but maybe it can work to your advantage. Perhaps you can look up the studs on a Porsche parts diagram (PET) and get the exposed length that way?
