[Healeys] Broken Screw

[Michael MacLean]

 Filing the screw flat will not be a problem.  Access with the shroud in place is just a little awkward.Mike MacLean

 Hi Mike,
My 2 cents.  File the end of the bolt flat if possible, then center punch to give the drill a place to start.  Begin with a very small bit in the center and keep going up until you get near the original threads and use a dental pick to clean out the threads.  Use a thread chaser if needed.  
Good luck!Rick Neville

Went to install the rebuilt horns on my BN2 last night and could only screw one on the cross member of the frame.  The other mounting hole were a problem.  Somewhere, sometime in the past whoever removed the horns snapped one of the screws off flush with the frame.  Best way to get this out?  Must have been corroded in place to snap off like that.
