just restoring a LWB chassis- worst i've seen apart from the front end which has 2 dumb irons and bulkhead outriggers replaced. However one bulkhead out rigger was welded on out of level with about 20mm sag to the offside. the bolt sheared off. Now do i spend rest of today drilling it out OR, do I buy another outrigger and replace? your views gentlemen....

Penetrating fluid, heat then knock it out and bit then back in turning the head too if that's there?
How much is a new outrigger?
I'm tight so anything more that £25 and I'd save it but I've lots of time little money.

New out rigger about £30, Given it needs to come off for straightening and the door pillar/foot look bad I would say new.

I drilled it out- 3 and a half hours it took... the outrigger still had the Paddock spares label on the top- so today we can cut the outrigger and weld it in straight... Why do i do this? i am getting too old to play with Land Rovers....

Call me stupid, but why not cut it off first then put it in a pillar drill?

That was an option we didn't consider..
Earlier today thought we had finished welding when the welder said "you're not going to like this.. I've found a hole"
