The thumb bolts/screws that hold the manifold to the firebox on my Genesis 2 quickly broke off during disassembly.
Heat/pb blast/vice grips did not help either. I started to drill thru the broken off bolt and I believe the bit is starting to walk into the soft aluminum.
Has anyone blown through these holes and used a nut/bolt in lieu of tapping the firebox for new threads? I can't see any adverse effects but figured it would be worth asking.
