Default Broken bolts

Getting back to the Morris engine .

One major problem is: the small M6 metric water jacket cover bolts have snapped off.

My repair plan is to make a drilling guide plate and drill out the broken bolts. I can tap the holes to the larger M8 . size. A Hudson car restorer had the same problem, he used a drill press but he suggested using a mag drill would be ok. The drilling needs to be highly accurate. I have 4 holes where the bolts came to use as a guide. The holes are 46mm centre to centre in the x axis. . Pics will explain.
