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?
Hi,

I'm not exactly sure of the layout, but could you possibly get a piece of All-Thread (threaded Rod stock), cut it to length, and put a nut and lockwasher on the backside? Seems to me this might work, if I'm visualizing it correctly. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
