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?

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

Could you use a spring washer to help with the offset?

Can you just ignore the offset by tightening two nuts together on the bolt, keeping clear of the body, rather than tightening the nut down onto the body? Maybe with a locking washer of some sort.....

Exactly what I was thinking of, connector, standard washer, spring washer, nut?
