Thumbs up

I was installing a new walbro 255 on my FC this morning. Got everything done, but the power wire. I put the power wire on with the ring connector. So as i was tightening the nut to finish connecting the power, the stud thing that had the nut and power wire ring connector on it broke, AWW SO MAD!! Well anyway i was a dumbass and i guess i overtightened it. I was wondering wut i cud do to fix this problem. I know lastly i cud buy a whole new braquet, but i was wondering if any of u guys new any alternatives to this situation. If anyone has experienced this mistake or has an idea. PLEASE cud u give me some input. Thx.

O ok thx. I was also wondering why it is important to unplug the fuel pump while the cars running? Mine was unplugged when the car wasnt running, and my stock fuel pump all together just stopped working, like u cudnt hear anything in the key on position. I was wondering if that wud have anything to do with it? (like a small chance?) I checked like the fueses and no bad ones yet. So i just assumed it was dead and upgraded to a walbro since i needed to upgrade anyway. Sorry to post two things, just kinda got caught in my mind. So any help is much appreciated thx alot guys.
