May I suggest drilling out the original nut .Weld a new nut to a fender washer [bolt the nut up tight with a bolt through the washer ,this keeps the nut centred and tight to the washer while welding] put the washer against the hood bracket with the nut side in the hole weld the washer to the hood bracket while holding it tight and lined up by the head of the bolt .remove the bolt a little touch up and bolt the hinge on.
