[Shop-talk] Studs vs. Bolts

[Jeff Scarbrough]

I'm putting a Triumph Spitfire 1500 engine together, and the fuel pump I
have requires a spacer.  I've lost the studs that were on the car, and a
5/16-24 x 1-3/4 stud is scarce around here.

I can easily get a 5/16-24 x 1-1/2" bolt which should have the same
effective length so as not to hit the camshaft.  Is there any practical
difference between a stud and a bolt in this application, other than the
slight challenge of keeping all the parts lined up while I get the bolt
started?
