Just got through making the stud.
It is 1/2 fine thread NOT "all" thread, it is a stud.
It will be threaded in the bottom plate with nuts on top and bottom to lock in it place.
The top part of the stud is also fine thread where the locking handle will be.
I did it this way so I could index where I wanted the handle to lock at.
I will go to the old school auto store tomorrow to get the nuts it isn't worth my time to make a 25 cent nut.
I like fine threads because it requires less force/torque to get the same amount of pressure against two pieces and they are less likely to come loose.
The stud was threaded long on top so I could just cut off what I dont need.
