P range spare wheel stud

[pink]

Hi all. One of the mounting studs for my spare wheel holder gas snapped short. Is there any way of repair to make stud ling enough to pass through the rim? Thanks in advance. Pink

You can get an 8mm long nut something like this on eBay: 111727835693
I used one of these to fit my spare wheel on with my scorpion pipe. Only just fits underneath the side panel!!

Or... If not enough thread left to do as ironsloth says, drill out What's left of the old  stud bolt and replace with a new bolt and tackweld the bolt head to the frame or if welding unavailable,

just use a nut on the new bolt to hold it in place and if you need to keep the spare wheel sitting even, add  another nut to the other good stud bolt.😉

All the best.

Ironsloth, I use the above part when fitting spare wheels using a scorpion exhaust.😉

My front spare wheel bolt stripped on my 221 last week too! Standard procedure was to always drill it out and put a bolt though from the back. I guess something cool could be done with a rivnut? Is this an option?
