Guys,
I am right in the middle of a ScottyB upgrade on an early 90s shuttle. While removing the wire from the A1 terminal the stud broke. See pic. Yes, I was turning it the right way. The nuts on the other studs came off easily.
My initial repair thought is to grind the broken stud flush to the remaining nut then weld a 1/2 inch hex head bolt onto it, upside down. It's a bit tight in there but I think I can maneuver my mig around enough to make it work. If not I will pop the motor off and do it.
Still, I want to make sure there isn't an easier or better way. Has anyone else seen this and have any thoughts as to how to go about a repair?
Thanks in advance.
