There is actually significant difference between 32h and 36h builds, all other factors being the same.

Assuming the hub measurements are the same, just put 36 in the calculator where you enter number of spokes.

Also, you're not looking for the threads to dissapear into the nipple hubside, but for the spoke to rise up to the inside of the flats at the head of the nipple.

Go here and measure your hubs. This will help you understand the calculator. Your rim erd is 602.

Download the spocalc excel spreadsheet from the same page. You might be able to find your hub in the database there, but best to measure to make sure it looks to match your own measurements:
