Hi guys,
While putting on my Ironman bash plates yesterday I managed to break one of the bolts. It sheared off a few mm into the captive nut in one of the cross members. I have tried drilling and tapping the bolt with LH taps but it wont budge. Anything else I can do? Its in there pretty tight. Silly mistake really!
Welding a nut on will be hard but my mate reckons he can do it. Will have to just build it up until there is enough to weld a nut onto.
Are there any other options? I realise I could probably drill it out to the next size and re tap it but just want to cover all bases before I do that.
