I posted the pics on the AuCountry Facebook page.  

Regarding the studs that pulled through:  I have a whole bunch of studs from the wrecked 79 Tiger.  I cleaned them up and looked at the attachment very closely.  They look like they are brazed in place.  In contrast, the studs that pulled through look to be stamped.  Obviously a cheaper alternative.  Let all your friends and family flying the later planes know they need to inspect the studs at every annual.  Trust me, they will be easier to replace before they fail.  

After they fail, the stud turns when trying to back off the nuts.  You'll need to use a Dremel with a very worn off cutting wheel to get into the hole to cut a slot for a  screw driver.  Then, you'll need a helper to remove the nuts while you hold the stud with a screw driver.  Takes about 2 hours.
