Larry Finch sent me the specs for his stock stud:

====

M10 x 1.5

The stock stud now in my hand is an overall length of 35mm.

One end has about 9 mm of threads.

Other end has about 17mm of threads

Center  section is about 9mm.

New one needs to be longer.

There you go.   What Larry failed to tell me is WHICH end that is the end 
that the starter fits over, versus the end that goes into the bellhousing.   
For the end that the starter goes over is the end that has to be longer.

Can you confirm?

Mike
