I belive the 7/8mm part names are both wrong and confusing. They are both between
6.6mm and 7.4mm (see photos). In other words, they're both approx. 7mm. I
suggest renaming them just to "short"/"long" and possibly write a note about
the actual lengths.

It’s even more confusing because the short one is 8mm if you count the magnet. 
If you have only one type….

I see that these two have changed now. If no one is working on renaming the assemblies
with these parts, I'll do them tonight.

Thanks for submitting those, Jan.
