Anyone got some bolts lying around they don't need.
Used is fine.
Managed to snap 16 of the little feckers.

OMG.. :o

Snapped 16 (heads off, I presume?)..
Hope you've been fortunate & managed to extract the studs of the bolts, without any damage to the outer barrel threads etc :|

I've a couple of spares, but not 16 sadly..

Might pay you to hunt for a battered wheel and you'll have 19 them, - so long as your fortunate and don't shear any of those, whilst attempting to extract them?

Best of luck OP..

I ordered a set of 5 from here earlier today, following a quick search of the forum:

Had a mixture of heads snapped off and splines exploding, despite soaking with plus gas for 2 days and striking them all with a lump hammer.

1 wheel they all came undone easily, the other 3, not so much.

Haven't begun the drilling process yet, ordered some decent titanium coated cobalt drill bits that should be here tomorrow.

Found a set of 16 for £36.50 but was hoping I could pick up some second hand ones for cheaper.

Dont try and drill the full bolt out, drill the tops off so you can spit the wheel and then use some mole grips to get the remaining bolt out
