End plate stud help required......

I have just had some ally welding done on a casing and the welder has drilled and tapped new holes for the studs. He has done a fantastic job (aircraft welder
) but on one of the stud holes he has drilled and tapped it a couple of mm too deep, meaning that the stud goes in slightly too far not leaving a great deal of thread for a washer and nut.
Can I get a longer stud or is there any other option for me?
Also, do you guys use loctite on the studs?
Many thanks in advance

Just put a couple of small washers in the hole and screw the stud up to them.

in think MB do longer studs, or get some 7mm threaded bar or a bolt and cut it to length.

Sorted! Nice one
Now, do I use flat washers or spring washers?
