The stock trans crossmember is held on by 4 bolts (3/8") on each side of the frame. When I went to remove these 7 of the 8 bolt heads snapped off. As a result I have drilled out the remaining bolts, albeit some may be slightly off center by maybe 1mm. I drilled them to 5/16. Would you just retap these holes knowing that some of the old bolt thread might still be in place? Would you overdrill and use a heli-coil/threads? Overdrill and go with 7/16 bolts instead of the stock 3/8? There is really no access to the inside of the frame so making new nutserts from the back side is not really an option.
