The Decker's BOM calls for the bolt tube to be cut to 100mm exactly. If cut perfectly, this length should require zero headspacing (the bolt should headspace off its printed face.) If the bolt tube is cut a little long, you can compensate by adjusting the headspacing bolt. However, if the tube is cut too short, then proper headspacing will become impossible and light strikes will result.
To address this, I have created modified versions of the Decker bolts. These bolts have slightly bolt tube holes, allowing a shorter bolt tube to protrude further.
Note that the bolt tube is squared to the bolt body by the bolt hole itself. The shallower the hole, the more out-of-square it's possible for the tube to become. For the +2mm bolt body, this probably isn't a problem, but it might become a problem for the +4mm body. That said, if your bolt tube is cut so short that it needs a +4mm compensation, then you should probably just get a new bolt tube.
Two bolt bodies are included:
* One that reduces the hole depth by 2mm - use if your bolt tube measures between 98mm and 100mm
* One that reduces the hole depth by 4mm - use if your bolt tube measures between 96mm and 100mm
