     Tony, are you still doing titanium studs?
     If so this is the way to do it. This makes the
     weight saving cost effective and does two jobs.

Those studs are not titanium, they are 4140 chromolly.
and it's $434 AUS for the stud kit only!  plus another $434 AUS
for the machining. Factor in, crating the motor, time to ship,
and possibly being damaged during shipping and I think it will
be twice the cost of  the ones I made, which requires no machining
and are 6AL-4VTI and roll threaded. Unfortunately with the price
of titanium these days a set of Titanium studs is around $ 800.00
after roll threading. But WOW what a weight savings. I think not
too long ago Francois responded about weight savings and going
to Titanium studs. He was very impressed with the one I  gave
him at Osh a few years ago.
