Yes got part of a bolt so do I measure that??
It will probably be an M8x1.25, I'd be inclined to replace it with a stainless stud and brass nut to prevent this from happening again.Kit required can be found here on eBayhttps://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/THREAD-TAP-REPAIR-CUTTER-KIT-M8-x-1-25-x-8mm-Helicoil-Compatible-NO-CASE/201454190107?hash=item2ee79afe1b:g:s2YAAOSwk~xZiKkL

I wouldnt use brass on stainless steel, in fact I wouldny use brass at all
Many many years ago I replaced an exhaust on a neighbours daughters Honda Melody, complete with basket on front, and the nuts on the exhaust studs were brass or something very similiar. They just rounded off straight away and I ended up using a small chisel to split the nuts, easy to do with brass ones. But put steel ones on as replacements.
