By the way, I also cut threads on several studs. I somehow ended up with the wrong number of "long" head studs versus "normal" ones. I had too many of the studs meant for the lifting eye, which are about 1/8" longer than the regular head studs. So I had to cut about an extra 1/8" of thread and grind them 1/8" shorter - basically move the threaded section 1/8" up the stud and shorten the overall length of the stud to match the regular ones. No biggie. Worked just fine.
