i'd just cut the studs flush, then drill new holes then use stainless bolts. If you want it to look nice get an allen head bolt.

I'm not a welder, so don't know if this can be fixed. Wish I had noticed this when I first bought these tips. Apparently they stripped two of the three studs when removing them. They appear to be fubar'ed beyond fixing with a die, and I don't really have room to spin it on the stud with the pipe next to it. I am hoping that the original stud could be cut off and a stainless bolt or stud can be welded on in its place. Sound doable? If anyone has a better idea to fix this, let it fly! Going to talk to a friend of mine who works at a stainless fabrication shop tomorrow. Sometimes you can't win for losing!

What fix said |
the reason i said to leave a inch sticking out so you dont have to buff the lip after welding a new stud on..if you cut it off flush you wil have to buff the discoloration out which will take more time and work,,i could have that fixed in about 10 minutes..

cut it tig a new stud on
|
I understand that could be done .But (1) won't it discolor and require additional labor to polish and (2) with as little as they hold, what is wrong with just cleaning up the threads .Snug is all they need...As someone said ,you could pretty much 4200 them on. once it's clamped to hose. Personally I would want the fasteners ...the fasteners are already there, just buggered up

Put a new nut in a press and squish it a little to oblong the hole and crank it on.

Update: Got R Done!!
Ended up buying a hexagonal die that allowed me to put a one inch socket on it. Much easier than cutting and welding. Good to go! Thanks for all the suggestions, guys. Maybe it will help the next guy with this problem.
