Thanks, I'm just venting. I'll probably weld a nut onto the stud, but my welder's fucked so I'll have to waste a friend's time to do it. My real primary transportation is just a pile of gears and shafts on a workbench waiting for backordered parts and recalled tires, this was supposed to be a no effort get-around machine. Now I'm fucked, I'm developing an emotional attachment via aggravation and I'll probably have to keep this heap forever now.
