broken bolts
I managed to drill out all of the broken M6 bolts and tapped new threads to accept the heli-coils,
This was a long and tricky job.. the Mag drill did the job well.. I bought a cheap Mag drill on Epay but it worked out OK . The original little M6 bolts have oversized heads .. for 3/16" BSW size spanners . I will buy some 8mm bolts and machine them down to M6 and rethread them. This sounds crazy but the larger heads are needed to seal the gasket . Morris inherited Metric tooling when they took over the WW1 era Hotchkiss factory , the Morris oversized metric bolt heads were made to suit the common U.K. Whitworth spanners.
