I looking for a single lower torsion arm to suit a 1968 ball joint beetle. Does anybody have a spare they are willing to sell with a good undamaged thread on the shock absorber mount?

I am located in Brisbane.

Aren't the stud replaceable?,if so why condemn a good arm.

a good undamaged thread on the shock absorber mount

or cut a new thread?

I think the damaged thread is beyond being re-cut. Replacing the stud sounds like a good idea, does anybody know of anyone who could handle the job?
