I averted disaster with this guy by going to see for myself. The ball stud is never intended to be threaded into the conv. top arm. It gets a nut on the other side. My problem is now that the M8 stud is too short to get through the aluminium arm and into the nut.

I've contacted Porsche and everything they have has a 10 mm stud. The other side has a stud length that is approx. 13 mm.

I cannot find a shelf item stus any where in Windsor. Does anyone have a suggestion?
