What's happened? Can't any damage be repaired?

After being attacked by an Ape with a ratchet gun on full tilt, lets just say the threads are a little "stressed" and for peace of mind I am going to change them

Can't you just knock the studs out and replace? Speedshack or Mr Tee should have something. 7/16" unf.

They just knock out, and any replacement ones that you get are bound to be better quality than the OEM ones. The only problem would be if the dog-leg studs are damaged as they're made of unobtainium. I may have one or two if you're stuck though ;-)up

Speedshack will do studs in that thread for old MkI Mexicos/RS2000s etc. Not sure about the dimensions of the knurled parts though.
