Hi

Just tried to remove the otter switch on the inlet manifold and managed to snap two bolt heads off! Any ideas for getting the rest of the bolts out? :D
 
I've left the third in place while I make a new plan, but they seem to be pretty flush with the surface.
 
What you need to do either carefully drill out the old bolts or drill down in to them and cut a new thread. Once done buy a length of threaded rod and cut it to suitable lengths to make studs.

Fit the switch of blanking plate. Drill into the sheared bolts but not too deep. Re-thread the holes then fit the studs.

I finished mine off with domed bolts.
