A few months ago the local porsche dealership bought in a few studs from Germany for me. This explains why there were numerous attempts to get the correct required length.

Yeah well its amazing how I just got my studs in from the father land and guess what.... yiup... wrong length. I needed a 78mm grip length and I got a 78 mm TOTAL length stud... 3 of them... and they aren't even cad plated!

What I wanted:
http://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin/PartsLookup/search.cgi?command=show_page&Catalog_Name=911_USA_78_83_KATALOG&Illustration=101-10&Line_Item=12

the catalog says M8 x 78... the order on the packing slip has the correct part number/description... just wrong part. They must have picked up the wrong part as the other 10 studs I got were correct so even back at the factory they make errors...

Now I have to deal with the dealer and it will be another 10 days before I get my case together... maybe more...

Best regards,


Michael
