help- stripped threads on stud on starter

[70 RAG TOP]

I just purchased a rebuilt starter on the internet and I have already screwed up!  It is a mini starter, not the oem style starter.  I failed to realize that it is probably a nippendenso, therefore most likely has metric threads.  I used a standard nut on the small stud( next to the larger "battery power" stud) and ended up stripping the threads.  My question is? Can a starter/alternator rebuilder replace just the affected stud, by soldering in a new one?

thanks

they used to be available so I suspect a proper electrical shop will have them

Coundn't you just re-tap it to fit the standard nut you tried in the first place? Or is there not enough stud left... ?

  I'd try that first, or maybe try and clean up the metric ones

Thanks for your help guys .  I thought about going the retapping route, but the stud was so small and short that the die barely started on the threads before it bottomed out on the starter.  I actually found a local starter rebuilder that replaced the stud with a new one for only about $15.  If anybody ever has this problem, that is the best way to go.

Thanks again everyone.
