In theory it would be as welding chassis sections is considered safe enough, but to be honest, I'd sooner replace the bolt - if you can get the remains out. Where was this bolted? Front, rear?

Sounds ridiculous to pay £45 for a bolt, but when you consider how cheap your interior was (once you've sold on the ECUs) it's still not bad. Especially if £45 is the cost if he has to take the fuel tank off.
I'd pay for that if it was me to be honest.

its stuck solid mate. i have allready drilled a 6mm hole in the middle of it and it just will not budge.
best left to the garage i think on friday.
i took the belts off in my exec and put them back on good and tight and never experienced this perdiciment. But anyhow £45 is not much for a safety device.
At least you have them spare bolts i sent you. Unless that was one of them that snapped, they came out of the donor car very easilly.
But i have been brutal on 2 occasions when putting them into my D9 and they never broke, having said that when going back in i oiled the thread on both the floor holes and the bolt. Perhaps the D9 uses a fancy alloy.
