my nova td has sheered off the two bolts that hold the engine mount to the engine its on the cambelt side and one of the bolts holds the tentioner pully, the problem is its sheered them flush with the block and its in the garage now but i don't no what to do? doi get them to do it and risk a massive bill or do i scrap it? i paid ?390 for it 3 weeks ago! its a 1992 nova 1.5td
any ideas would be great!
Cheers

it should be easy to get the snapped bolts out, just drill the centre of them and use an easy out (can get them from any tool shop or motor factors,) or just drill them right out with the correct tapping size for the thread used (m12 which means u will need to use a 10.2mm drill bit) and re-tapp the whole. check that it is m12 before you do but im sure it is

okay thanx but the car is in the local garage as we speak and the bloke is workin over-time to do it the problem we hav is that u cant get a drill in the space to drill them out! so is it worth spending the money in labour to get it done or shall i scrap the body and sell the parts on?

weld a nut to what?

If its flush with the block that would be impossible.
