If you want to make a spacer like the versus one, with offset studs, you may be able to use the threads on the broken stud as is. you can make the counterbore much deeper, i doubt you need more than 2-3mm of aluminum to get the strength you need out of it.

Just keep this thread going. That's why we're all here. I love seeing someone else's creative solution as much as my own. I appreciate the desire to mimimize irreversible work too!

That's a good idea! I measured it. the broken stud is only 5-6mm left with 2mm thick of counterbore it will be 3-4mm for thead. Is it ok for that?

Rule of thumb is for threaded contact to be as deep as the diameter. Would be close but maybe ok.

If you can get 3 threads on there I would feel comfortable with it.

I've called it good with less and a dab of loctite.

I forgot that lower stud is 25mm long. 10mm spacer is not enough to hide that stud under pedal if I want to make it like Verus (my car is rhd)
