You beat me to to it. But please use a stack of washers that fit as snug on the stud as you can get. Use metric washers if you need to. Don't hillbilly it up with a nut or sloppy washers.
Speaking of Appalachian Engineering, when I had a similar situation with an exhaust manifold nut on my old Tundra I snugged the nut up good and tight and then welded it on.
(Not that I recommend that in your case)
