Has anybody ever taken the time to measure the bolt, after its trimmed? Im just curious what the measurement is from the tip to the bottom of the head.

Thanx

1/4" John? I thought it was 2-3 threads.

Visual guesstimation. Go measure a 1/4 inch, and compare it to 2-3 threads of a head bolt. Should be damm close.

Why dont you measure the depth of the hole you're putting the bolt into, then subtract like 1/4" to allow for bolt stretch?

I dont see the point in buying studs when this will do the same thing.
