Well, I agree with you on what you say. Since you are an engineer you should understand the reasons for using a stud over a bolt in this application.
As far as discussing with members of the design team you would have to return to the beginning in 1952 with the first K Model.
These guys are long, long dead for the most part.
Any still alive would have been unemployed for decades by this time.

Hey everyone this is my first of many posts on here so bare with me if I am a little short. I'm rebuilding my 1000cc Ironhead and I noticed that my rear motor mount was cracked. I am replacing it when the new one once it gets here. What I can't figure out is if the top stud on the lower T part is screwed into the block or if it is stamped or pressed???? Can anyone help me with this question?

Older Ironheads they were studs..,.we always pulled the studs and used Bolts..
O.E, or Aftermarket Mounts still need "fitted" pattern Blue or Sharpie... and ensure the thing sits Flat on the engine bosses... Yup...File on mount...or thin Steel Spacers even, or...Gonna Break another.. unless your Luck is Much Better than mine..
