Help! I broke a strut tower stud! 200

Alright, well, I went to the salvage yard today, after managing to get by with the wife's car all morning...

I found several 240s, and I picked one that didn't have too much of a puddle around it, after all the rain we've had recently. I really didn't want to pull apart the whole suspension, so I simply removed the six retaining nuts (three on each side), and took a hammer to the top of them until they disappeared. I found only one out of the six that made it down to the ground, but that's all I needed. I'll end up putting everything together tomorrow morning.

I looked around this morning, and saw that I could probably get the whole top strut retainer from FCP, but from messing around (and breaking things) last night, I know that I don't need to buy everything for the sake of one stud.

Thanks for all your help.

Regards,

Josh in IL
