Messing around in the shop

@Harry would it be possible to drill the heads of the bolts off? Maybe a pilot hole in the center of the head then a bit the size of the bolt?

Great idea. I’ll try that. Harry

On that note , maybe a centre drill or a step drill might be helpful.

David, sounds like a plan. I figure I’ll have to put a wrench on the nut side and drill through the bolt. Hope they aren’t hard. Harry

Another option could be careful use of a 2" roloc style sanding disc in a die grinder or drill and then sand/grind the screwhead until it's either flat, or completely gone - then just push the remaining screw and nut through the hole - and don't forget a damp rag to make sure the fiberglass doesn't get too hot from the grinding. (Don't ask me how I learned about that... )

I tried to remove one of the bolts today. Not much luck hard to drill and fiberglass was getting to hot. I jumped over to work on the mini loader assembled a few things on the GT, then I came to the realization that I don’t need to remove the frame from the fiberglass roof. I can clean up the metal frame and paint it attached to the roof. Onward and upward we go. Harry
