this is a good quick fix but I would not drive on this for very long. The threads are weak and running a tap through it weakens it even more. When you have a more time to fix it go to your local hardware store with the bolt and look for a nut, cut the old nut off and get somone to weld the new one in place. Thats how I would do it but you should get a few other opinions first.

cut the old nut off but the new one does not have to be welded on, its just welded on to probably make the assembly easier and cheaper on the production line.
