Technical Engine mount studs damaged - Is it replaceable?

[szamat2012a]

Hello Everyone!
Is there any way to replace the marked engine mount (maybe lug) stud bolts in the picture?

If you cut it off could you get a bolt in? And or weld in place ?

Well anything can be repaired but its an awkward spot to get access. You will need to remove some engine parts and pay particular care to the cam belt and covers You will need an expert welder to do it properly. Good luck.

Ah this nightmare. Yeah I had this too after using a nut of the wrong pitch and I couldn't think of a way to solve it either, short of pulling the engine out and welding a bolt in through that tiny gap the way John202020 suggested. I know some later models have bolts there rather than studs, not sure if there is an easier way to convert them.

In my case fortunately I was able to recover the studs with a die nut.
