Broken bolts fix. Ended up being able to remove both the broken drill bit and the easy-out. Decided to finish drilling out the stuck bolts and tap a M12x1.25 (original bolt was a M10x1.25). Had to enlarge the bolt holes in the link mount brace to 1/2 inch so everything aligned. Suspension back in place. Thanks to everyone for the support.

Looking to replace the driver side (left) front clip from the shock tower forward. My inner fender well behind the headlight is swiss cheese. My engine frame rail and radiator support frame are fine. Just looking for a piece that is sound. Does not have to be perfect.

Even with a closed top on the channel, I'm inclined to cut into the top of the channel since less of the channel would be disturbed. That assumes I could get the bolt out from the top. Thanks for the feedback! I'll work on it over the next few days. Let you know the outcome.

Tried to drill out the bolt. Broke off a drill bit in one. Broke off an easy-out in the other. That was not a good Day!

The 2 of the four bolts that hold the 90 degree bends on the link mount brace (5) behind the mustache bar are the culprits in question. I'm wondering if I can come in through the top, remove some sheet metal and weld a nut onto the stud end of the broken bolt. Anyone know if that channel is open on the top?

Broke the head off two of the four bolts that hold the link mount brace in my 70 Z. They had not moved in over 50 years so probably lucky to get two out! The captured nuts are inside the channel that is welded into the body. Any ideas how to get the bolts out short of cutting into the channel and replacing it?
