they are 70s LI style panels
the stud fouled the panel (was proud of the rubber panel buffer)
wound down the half nut on the shorter thread to the end, then put in a lathe and turned down the stud and half nut a couple of mil to shorten.
still touched panel so took about 4mm from the mount.
will fit under the panel now.
havent a clue why but problem now solved
