[Spits] ignition switch??

[Charles Reid]

I managed to grab the remaining head of the break away bolt with a small pair
of vice grips. That was on an 80.

I've been able to start those by using a small, sharp chisel to drive
the bolt in the direction of removal.  Once it's loose, it's easy to
turn.  You can cut a slot when it's out to make it easy to  reinstall
it, or find an Allen head bolt of the proper thread to replace it.
