HELP, I've got a challenge for you

[j.amrol]

I've got an 86 eta sport that had an impact on the front passenger wheel. Upon replacing the control arm, one of the bushing bracket bolts snapped off inside and the other may be stripped or was cross threaded during the impact because it simply wont thread in. Not the bolts. One stripped, and the other broken inside the frame.

Any idea on who can fix this? Regular mechanic? Machine shop?

weld someting to it to get some leverage on it...or an easy out after applying some heat to it.
the other one you will have to probably chase out the threads with a tap

That's exactly what I ended up doing, after talking with matt over at theeurodepot.com (they're here in town) he said it's happened before, and if need be just weld the lolipop on. So I figured I would give it a shot before I went that route. The broken bolt came out without too much fuss with my extractor set. Then just cleaned up the threads with a tap which I've never done before, but after talking with one of the guys at sanels auto parts (who are the only people in town with metric taps) he gave me a quick run down on how to use it. All in all it went smoothly. I was even considering some pretty radical solutions like drilling and through bolting to the frame, or drilling in a helicoil, even having new nuts welded in.

Another success story! Good job!
