If I am looking at bolt lengths is the quoted size the length of the thread or the length of the complete bolt ❓

Usually the complete bolt - the length of the shank and thread should be separate variable on the spec of the bolt.

Usually the complete bolt
Are you sure?
An M12 x 40 long bolt would mean the thead section, i.e. not the bolt head, would be 40mm.

Arse - you're right of course.... I only skim read the post first time round 😳
It's the length of the threaded section, plus additional info if a length of unthreaded shank is included.
Sooorrryyyyy......
