Default HELP!!!! TRANS BRACKET MOUNT NUT BROKEN?!

I NEED HELP ASAP BECAUSE MY BAY WILL BE GETTING SPRAYED THIS WEEKEND.



MY ONLY ISSUE IS THE NUT FOR THE MOTOR MOUNT BOLT BROKE OFF. NOT SURE HOW TO GO ABOUT THIS.... BUT REALLY WANT A PERMANANT FIX. IF ANYONE HAS DEALT WITH THIS YOUR OPINIONS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! (i know how to weld but im scared i may not make the welds strong enough and it will break again)

I really don't know what you want us to tell you here. The solution is to weld on a new nut. If you don't feel confident in your work then have a professional do it.

Clean up the rust. Tack the nut in about 3 places.

Put the bolt in with the nut on. Then tack weld it in. That's it. It's not gonna go anywhere. You'll be ok

Then how do you plan on remounting the engine? Don't know how you haven't called a Honda dealer by now or at the very least looked online like http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/ or this https://honda-tech.com/forums/tech-misc-15/common-honda-bolt-thread-pitch-size-dimension-1885652/.
