Default broken bolt

i broke the bolt on the distributor tab. drilling and extracting is one thing. i have to pull the distributor to drill. retiming has me worried. It is a 1950 pan. I dont another block just laying around.

Figured I'd give your thread a bump, since you got one the best looking old bikes I've seen on the forums.
