To Bob Begani,
If the screw head was drilled off and the drilling was close to center, the
easiest fix is to drill through the old screw starting with a small pilot and
working up to a size near the original bolt size and then run a thread tap
through. I believe these screws are a 5/16" x 24 thread. If the hole is not
aligned perfectly you may sacrifice a little of the thread on one side of the
hole. Worst case is that you end up drilling it out oversize and inserting a
helicoil.

Hello Steve,
Forgive my dilapidated memory, but with that and Yahoo Mail being cloaked in
arcane mystery, I forgot to copy this to you, and I'm never sure when my emails
to the group actually arrive where they're intended, but here goes!!!

As promised, the latest brain-teaser in my own particular Healey saga!
Three pics of the afflicted area. Note experimental high-tech, temporary
light-green brace (Ahem!)
Hole in chassis welded in, to be ground flat for re-attachment of handbrake
pivot.
Traces of the works weld still visible, so correct location no problem!
..........and meanwhile, in the boot!

The spacer should slide off. Then pull the carpet back and remove the

Hi David:
Just so happens I have the Tunnel available for your viewing pleasure. See
attached photos of the bracket. My emergency brake has not been on the car
for several years as the cable broke. I could not put the brake on the
bracket because the head of one of the screws was drilled out to get it off.
My next project is to get the frozen screw out and then find a reasonable
replacement.
Regards,
Bob Begani
