Bob, if you have a dremel with assorted collets, or something similar, I can send you a rotary file that went through a tap thet I broke off in Willit?'s exhaust bolt hole. It took about 15 minutes to get the busted tap out. Send me a PM with your address and it will be in the snail mail post haste.
