I purchased a pair of new reproduction Ram Air manifolds many years ago. Almost none of the supplied hardware was the correct length.
To really get the full and proper thread engagement I had to cut the bolts I ended up buying down. Even buying bolts in 1/4” increments wasn’t going to be good enough, I cut them down in 1/8” increments to get what was needed to do it right.
