Thanks guys.
I thought about drilling a few threads out, but the stud shank dia is .543.
I purchased a “bulge” nut from Ford that has a few threads missing from the nut, but not quite enough. I went thru the Dorman catalog online, but 1/2 x 20 is harder to find.
The Dorman stud 610-085 shows in the catalog as having a knurled end dia of .641. I bought 2 and measured them and the knurled end is only .622.
Still looking.
