engine mount bolts snapped inside gearbox help me please

[bendee]

so the other day i noticed the engine rocking back and fourth quite vilantly especially in first at high revs when coming off the gas and going back on.

had alook around the mounts and couldnt see a problem so wobbled th engine and it did move back and fourth without much effort.
so i took battery and air box off and noticed that only one bolt gearbox side was holding the engine up eek and ofcourse the one with the rubber thingy.
took the mount and battery tray off and pulled 2 bolts out no problem and found they had snapped and are stuck in the gearbox.
also did some hunting for some pics and found theres meant to be a strap going from mount to gearbox and that wasnt on the car ( it was in the spares box the guy gave me) so that needs to go on.

heres a couple pics of the gearbox with bolts stuck



and then the bolts 2 snapped one intact



anyway would this of happend because the mount was without the suport of the strap?
i also have one that doesnt go all over like the one on the williams take it its just the 16v one?

but the real question is how do i get the bolts out?
i got some reversed thread thingys to screw in and turn out but i cant get a drill in to creat a hole in the bolts becuase of the damn abs.

i was also tod welding nuts on the end and then turning them out would work but i have no welder and for someone to do it i need to take it to them but i cant move the car.

so any sugestions?

i would start with a small drill and work up and drill them out. Make sure u get them back on centre so u dont damage the thread.

[bendee]

cant get a drill in there becuase of the angle the bolts go in and the fact i have the abs unit there

[bendee]

also do they look like the right bolts? as they didnt look to strong

[northy]

in that case u can either remove the box and repair - or locate a replacement ?

[bendee]

i was thinking that might have to be the case.. bugger lack of knowledge is a cunt lol

[Matty86]

other way round for me

bolts took the thread out of the gearbox..

[bendee]

its a bitch aint it anyone know if i can move the abs out the way?

[valver_Karl]

i had the same problem m8, and i managed to get a drill in there but i only drilled a small hole then i used a left handed drill bit (means when it drills in it spins the other way so the thread comes out,

[bendee]

thats what i was planning on doing got all the bits just cant get tthe drill in there because of the angle
