Tinware bolts - snapped

[Saercoed]

Been stripping the parts off the engine to clean it up and paint the tinware - unfortunately a number of the bolts snapped off.

What do I do?

Soak in a solution of WD 40 or something first.
I had the same problem and grabbed the bolt from the back and was able to screw it right through and out the other side, the other one I had to drill out and fortunately own the right tap to clean up the thread.

Good luck.

Thanks. What size tap do I need?

 

[Kaboosie]

Tinware screws are 6mm so use a M6 X 1.0mm tap.
