Starter positive post question

In troubleshooting a starting problem. I think it was starter related. I pulled my starter off and cleaned the solenoid connection and used a battery and the start kicked in normal. So I decided to clean all connections. Trying to take the nut off the positive stud, nut caught coming off and twisted the stud.

So I've taken the starter apart. What's puzzling there appears to be nothing connected to the positive stud on the inside. No wire or any type of connection. Around there is nothing hanging or indicates anything was broke etc.

Here's a picture of the stud out and a shot inside the starter where it goes. Does anybody have a picture to the inside of a working starter or can verify whether or not there is something that connects to the positive stud on the inside of the starter?

This stud did have the strap. My take is nothing is connected as the strap just relays the current to the positive stud on the solenoid.

Having said that, something is odd. The stud is a 1/2 13 t thread. I had to clean the threads on it. The strap hole is a 1/2" as well.

What's curious is the square base that should fit snug in the square hole of the starter housing is way to small to keep the bolt from turning.

I purchased a rebuilt and I'll compare them when it gets here.

Thanks for the replies
