Sheared Bolt

Recommended Posts

Hi all.

 

Removed the thermostat housing from my 1.6 GTI and sheared off one of the bolts flush with the aluminium casting it bolts to :( Removed the casting from the engine but don't really fancy drilling the bolt out.

 

Does anyone know of a friendly machining shop round here who would entertain drilling it out and helicoiling it if need be? I'm in Rugby.

 

Cheers
