Cam,
Mark is definately right on with the JB Weld suggestion, that stuff is amazing, but if it were me, I would drill it out just a bit bigger than the O.D. of a metric nut, then JB that in there, that way, it's removable.

Well, it's gone. However, there's now a gaping 3/8" hole where it once was. No part of the bolt came out, so I drilled the snot out of it. Seemed to be welded in there! (Yes Dave, I "eventually" took off the crash, header, etc.) Seems I just couldn't drill the exact center, and the new hole is slightly left. Is there a threaded sleeve I could insert? There's no way in hell I can re-tap this thing. How bad do I even need a bolt up there? My thought now is to weld a bolt head to the crash for asthetics, and just put it back. Would the crash bar be secure enough with the top part inserted, and the two bottom bolts tightened up?
