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
If the studs you got weren't "yellow" I suspect that they aren't really factory. Someone substituted an "equivalent" stud.
For example, if you order something from a dealer like Stoddard you won't necessary get factory parts.
