I've got B14's and mine look like the picture they show on their site, but there's oodles of thread engagement happening, once you get a few tenths of an inch of thread grabbing, toss a bit of loctite on it if you're paranoid and those suckers aren't going anywhere. Having more threads past where it currently stops doesn't accomplish anything, if they're loose they'll rattle around like nobodies business and you won't be able to tell by looking at it.

I got only 7.5 turns of engagement, or 9.4 mm--below the minimum for a 12 mm bolt. Jarrett at Raceseng checked it on CAD and agreed, saying I should be seeing something like 3/8" engagement (i.e. same thing). Jarrett said that Raceseng needs to create a shock nut with a longer nose to increase the engagement. I asked if I could use the parts as is until they came up with the proper fix, but Jarrett replied that for safety's sake, I shouldn't use them.
