There's about 7 threads protruding, at 12x1.25 thats 8.75mm of stud being used. I suspect that that is no where near enough.  Is the rule of thumb 150% of stud diameter? That would be 18mm of stud, that seems quite a lot. |

Small furry animals will die, more global warming will occur, and the world may come to an end by mid-October.
You need longer studs...

with the normal wolfrace type nuts, it would be no problem, but with this.. i'm not so sure..

^^^ Yeah, sleeve nuts would work, but then you'd need bigger holes. New studs look like the cheapest option

General rule of thumb is 1.5 D, ie on and 8mm stud, 8* 1.5 = 12mm stud length.
However this is open to argument/judgement etc, common sense however would dictate that if it doesn't look right then it probably isn't ;D

No need for longer studs, just cut the nuts in half!  |
