This is the nut for the negative post on the fuel pump and it looks like it has a nylon insert?
Here is my attempt at fixing my broken fuel pump stud. I was able to drill and tap the hole.
I was able to get stainless steel screw, washer and nut for the repair. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get the hole drilled completely straight
.
Got the head cut off and now I'm wonder if this is going to be a problem as this is not sitting straight and could cause a problem?

The max torque for an M4 bolt is around 2Nm, or 17 inch-lbs so barely anything really.

That's what I have been wondering if it's worth the trouble fixing it.
Yeah I know it doesn't need to be super tight for that nut. I guess I was super excited that I finally got everything I needed to start putting my new fuel pump back together and was in a hurry and over tighten that nut and it snapped
