Broken subframe stud, how to fix? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

As I removed my subframe one of the studs broke off to where there's no more thread available. I was thinking maybe cutting it off of a donor car and welding the whole thing into place but according to the ProAm rule book this wouldn't be allowed.

"8.3.2.4. All original suspension mounting tabs must remain in the original position. NO cutting, welding, bending, drilling or modifications of any kind will be allowed."

So how can I fix this problem without having to buy another shell and stay within compliance of the rulebook??
Also how would I even get the stud because I can't seem find a replacement to purchase anywhere online.

Any help or links to write ups would be great. :/
