hole and tap it to the correct size?  There could be a lot of stress on =
the bolt.

There are a number of products to extract a bolt. You need to drill into
the bolt shank, insert the tool and ease out the bolt. Thereby saving the
threads and diameter of the frame.Applying a bit of heat from a MAP gas
torch would help too.

I presume the tapped thread hole is stripped. You can use a helicoil to 
repair that.
You say it is a non essential bolt, but it can be high stressed?????????

Any good mechanical thread repair method will result in a stronger female
thread that the standard hole.  The Heli-coil rep used to do a demo with a
sheet of aluminum and a grade 8 bolt.  He would screw the bolt in the hole,
and strip the threads.  He would then install a heli-coil and screw the
same bolt in and proceed to break the grade 8 bolts and the new larger
diameter thread of the thread repair was stronger than the original bolt.
My advise is get a good thread repair kit (heli-coil, time sert, etc) and
repair the hole, no need to weld it first.

Being non-essential can be highly stressful.=20

----- Original Message -----

I presume the tapped thread hole is stripped. You can use a helicoil to rep=
air that.=20
You say it is a non essential bolt, but it can be high stressed?????????=20

Heavens. Isn=E2=80=99t that another question raised? Are our chassis =

I just have visions of the Healey standing still and the bolt being =

Actually Price there is probably an easier solution.
The thread is in a tube which has a thread cut in each end and an unthreade=
d section between the threads.
I would suggest tapping the tube a little deeper and using a longer bolt.

Thanks to all.  Heli-coil sounds like the way to go.  I should have stated =
that the bolt is for a tow hook eye.  Sorry if I got some scratching their =
heads!

My advise is get a good thread repair kit (heli-coil, time sert, etc) and r=

I have stripped a non-essential bolt in the frame and want to replace it on=
 my BJ8.  I really don=E2=80=99t want to drill it out, re-tap it and use a =
larger bolt for visual reasons.  I don=E2=80=99t have access to a welding m=
achine (probably a good thing).  Is there a way to re-fill the hole and tap=
 it to the correct size?  There could be a lot of stress on the bolt.
