Two seat bolts snapped when removing seats.

The front 2 bolts on the driver seats snapped from being to rusty when removing all the seats in my 87 camaro.

What would be the best way to approach this for fixing? Should I just drill out out new holes were they used to be and just tap/thread them?

Any ideas let me know.

Re: Two seat bolts snapped when removing seats.

There are a few ways to "fix" the prob. It depends on the tools and skill you have and which way you want to go.

Grind, clean, weld new studs in place.

Drill out broke studs, weld in a nut and screw in a stud or bolt.

Drill out, and just through bolt the seats by running a longer bolt with large fender washer through seats and floor.
