Welcome to the forum Simon. Sorry to hear about your snapped bolt, it can be a common problem with these old engines. After you've posted 5 posts, you can show us a photo of the problem.

Hello Simon welcome to the forum! Greatly depends where it has snapped of course. Good luck with it, and look forward to some pics.

Welcome to the forum Simon.
Snapped bolts & striped threads are the norm with old Honda's indeed back in 1964 I had the same problems with JIS head screws that would not budge even using a genuine Honda tool of the period.

Hey, welcome to the battle! Google and YouTube have lots of solutions. Heat is often your friend. As is a good quality impact driver.

Welcome to the forum Simon. Broken studs, siezed mainstands, dodgy electrics, pitted chrome etc is all part of the fun of owning old clunkers  :). Have no fear there will be an answer on here. Enjoy the rebuild 👍
