Battery box stud missing

[Bandit9]

Well I found the first surprise on the 2012 300 I just bought. The left rear battery box stud is missing. I suspect the previous owner over tightened it, thus ripping out the stud. Anyhow, what to do about? It appears to still be held down pretty solidly with the 3 remaining hex nuts. Seems ok. What can be done? Thought about using a sheet metal screw, but that has a limited amount of uses before the screw won't grip anymore. Looks like it was molded into the sub frame, so replacing the sub frame?

I should have known.......thanks.

So you would have to remove the studs to use it? Are the 4 clips with open holes where it is fastened down?

Anyone use this thing?

You could do that or you could just wait for your package to arrive in the mail. I included one of the press-in studs along with the hex-stock nut and your other goodies.

LOL! Are you for real? Now that is service. You mailed me a part in advance that I didn't even know I needed.........

I'm impressed. You have your act together sir.

Thanks Steven!

I figured if the nut was missing you likely needed the stud as well
