I've got a mig welder and fairly proficient at using it, but still think getting in there to do it in situ with front wheel/forks in the way is the real problem. I may have to concentrate on getting the other monster finished/sold to create some space to work in. Trying to organise 2 bikes and 2 trikes in the garage is a pain in the arse.

Andy I'd still like to buy a billet bracket and new bolts, regardless of this job potentially going on hold for a while. Could you PM payment details over to me.

How about getting a Dremel in to cut a slot the get the impact driver on it? Might be worth doing ith with the engine hot (the impact driver op).

What's the idea of that Stenzel bracket, and how does it work?

Are they still available for tubers?

New motor mount and bolts on the way - Watch this space

For in situ extraction:
Leave the mount in place and use a drilling jig fitting the bolt's hole. I used a reverse drill.
Can attest to evil nature of cheap coneshaped extractors. Although on that occasion mine snapped only when I had the stud out enough to move on with pliers.

Has anyone used these with any success?

Used something similar a few years back called Easy-Out for removing M5, M6, bolts where the heads were screwed. Worked well, sometimes they snapped. Biggest problem is you need good access so you can drill nice and straight!!

Left handed drills are well worth using if you are trying to drill a broken bolt as often if the bolt isn't tight in the thread if the drill trys to grab it removes the broken bolt anyway

Never in a million years will they remove that broken bolt......only type of extractor I would use is the Snap-On splined jobbies.
