rear shock upper bolt stripped

Last year I over torqued the upper bolt attaching the rear shock to the frame. Upon removal of the bolt this year I noticed that both the bolt & welded on nut were stripped. A new bolt did not work. What is the best procedure (easiest) to replace the nut? Can another one be added to the end of the stripped nut?? Thanks in advance. Brian

<><><><><><><><><> <><><><><><><><><> Brian, I haven't been in that area in a while but recall it's a tight fit getting to the back of the nut with the shock installed. I think if I had a stripped nut to fix in that area I'd install a heli-coil. For the bolt I'd replace it with stock as I "think" the unthread section is a special size to fit the shock mount inner diameter.
