X-BT threaded stud base materials
I see online that the X-BT threaded stud can only be used with base materials minimum 8mm thick, do you have alternates for a 6mm base material?

The X-BT can be used on steel base materials less than 8mm thick, down to a strict minimum thickness of 4mm. It is important to note however that reduced load resistance should be considered with base materials less than 8mm thick. These reduction factors are outlined in ETA-20/1042, screenshot below.
Drill through can also occur on base materials less than 8mm thick so backside corrosion protection damage should be taken in account and rectified appropriately.
