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.

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.

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 👍
