Strut Mount Pin is stripped

So, after mounting and de-mounting my strut tower brace multiple times, I have at least one stripped strut mount pin (stud). I can buy an new strut mount for around $35, but is there a source for the replacement stud (pin) P/N 31331095233 by itself?

And, yes, I have tried re-threading via tap/die set.

Thanks.

you should be able to get that part at the Dealer and if you can't let me know at www.oemcooperparts.com and I'll get one for you.

Where can you get a new strut mount for only $35? RealOEM lists the price of the pin at $15 each.

Very interesting, at less than half the MINI price. I wonder if the manufacturer (Sachs Boge AG) is the parts supplier to MINI. This is their MINI catalog: http://webcat.zf-trading.com/%5Cpdfk...01D__MINIZ.pdf
