MCM 3.7 / 190 Starter

[Dubed]

Good morning.
I just installed a new alternator kit. When I removed the nut off the main + lug on my starter, all the threads came off with it. Is there a quick fix for this (maybe replace the stud) without removing starter? Or am I looking at a new starter??
Thanks for any advice before I maybe turn a quick fix into a mess

Ford!

Remove starter, disassemble, clean, reassemble, bench test, approve performance, install and test

Or, buy a decent replacement starter and install

Thx.
Guess I was looking for an easier solution. Starter is fine, Stud is fubar. If I bench the starter, can stud be replaced?
If not, ill order a new starter. Or perhaps the solenoid can be replaced

I ordered a new starter.
I will bench and attempt to rebuild the old one when I have more time, and have for a spare. If nothing else, it will be a good experience

FYI; MacGyver'd it.
I ran a die over the lug and re-threaded from 3/8 to 5/16". It will keep me on the water till the new starter arrives!
And added the new alternator kit

That's a clean 470

Nice alternator install, appears no grind/cut needed?

Ford starners are easy, like holley rebuild easy to fix

Thanks. I like a nice neat engine compartment. Motor is a complete rebuild top to bottom. That alt kit came from Breezeworks and is far superior to the Chinese garbage I had in there. Nice neat application.
They can't be too difficult to rebuild, I've just never done one.(yet) lol

The hardest part is taking the starter out and putting it back in. I do not miss changing them out on my old 470’s. I agree engine looks very clean..

Yes, thank you. I was trying to avoid that until I had the new one. Didn't want to do it twice. Was able to re-thread the shaft without removing. Now I can pull and replace when I'm ready.
