Was putting on the JP exhaust the other day and decided to make life real easy
by removing the diffuser. Wish I had not as a bolt snapped off, can these be
accessed through the boot as it looks like a 'NUT' inbedded in the
body work or is it a drill out jobbie. Maybe someone can recommend a
cleaner method though as this will need a jack up ! and drill might slip
all over the shop...

BTW - JP sounds bloody awesome..

That happened on my T350 when i was fitting the JP?

I used a plaster board fixing to rectify the problem, the type tha expand in/ behind the whole when you tighten?

ok - so you drilled the hole lot out, nut and what is left of the
bolt thread...to leave a empty hole.
