If it is snapped of flush then drill it with a drill bit slighty smaller thatn the size of the bolt the rest should come out with a little bit of effert then retap the thread to clean it up job done. If the nut that is welded onto the heel panel the subframe bolts has come of there is only one thing you can do. That is get a hole cut into the sill big enough to get a nut your fingers and a spanner in put the subframe bolt through stick on the nut make sure it is nice and tight and then weld up the hole finishing it how you want job done. Also if you would like your details taken of that is up to you but this is a forum. Anyone can help out to what ever degree they want they do not have to just because someone asks a question and the glory thing not sure what the hell are you on about there. Hope this helps you out!

But life is more important than the internet and if people have no time to reply to you or have never done what you are asking of them how can they respond in a fashion that you would like. Also i see you are welder or have competence in that field then one would think that common sense prevails how to tackle a job of this nature.

You are of course right, a forum is about discussion - its not about insulting users and members because you are frustrated that people havent answered your query in 24 or 48 hours because you are keen to get your mini back on the road.

I didn't say you would be a mini expert i don't think anyone could call themselves an expert in anything. I have now responded only because you seem to have some urgency to know and i had time to answer. Hopefully future questions if you still would like to use our forum will be answered for you promptly and correctly and hopefully if you have some advice then you may give it to others who need help.

To be honest moco-mini people do not HAVE to reply… I simply have not because I don’t know the answer to your posts but they way you have acted towards people which have posted a helpful reply is AWFULL! At the end of the day they are just trying to help you and if they didn’t understand what you were trying to say them or it might be just because it was misunderstood or you have worded it incorrectly!
faz and colm are really nice people so please treat them like it!

glad to hear you have it sorted.... we all get frustrated at times - even the simplest job can become a nightmare on a mini if something has seized or has rusted away !
