There is only one installed. Using both makes things a little
too tight and roller efficiency is compromised ;-) The angle of
the control panel keeps it bottomed on the stud.
 The 'stud' is aluminum and projects about 3/16's of an inch.
It has a diameter of about 3/16 of an inch on the head whilst
the shaft of the 'stud' is about 1/8"
