Well not exactly, but if I recall it did involve a stud and a strap.

For future references...

If you are adding some sort of terminal end, washers or clamping device to a bolt...for securing purposes...a longer bolt should have been used...to compensate for the loss of threads needed to secure the additional ground strap or washers thickness.

Good luck, with the repair.

In fairness I did not add the second ground strap. That was a gift from the PO.

Those are the best!

I think Brian may have diagnosed the failure correctly. That'd point to there being threads further in. Running a stud all the way in may work.
