Brake pipe Clamps

How do I sort this?



The screw has snapped off in the thread that is welded into the floor.

Help much appreciated!

The two approaches that spring to mind are to drill the blighter out or snap off the plastic clip to allow a pair of mole grips access.

I don't think drilling is an option as it's such a small diameter and would leave nothing to heli coil?

And the molegrips wouldn't make it happen as all you can see from the outside is the outside if the female part (rather than the screw) so would just pull it out of the floor dude

Abandon the old fixing post, move the clamp along the pipe 15mm, and secure with a self tapping screw, or a small nut and bolt if you can get access under the carpet.

Has someone hacked Brian's account?

Thankyou Jozi, that looks promising
