Default Rear Bumper Fitting Blobeye

Hi

I have rust on rear wheel arch on my blobeye so I had to remove the rear bumper, in doing so, one of the bolts which secures the front corner to the wheel arch snapped.

Has anyone had to replace this bracket, as it has 3 or 4 rivets fixing the bracket to the bumper ??

I've tried to attach a picture but having technical issues/meltdown.

Any advice as always much appreciated.

What's your actual problem??

I'm assuming the bolt that snapped is the one marked on the diagram.

Why not drill it out??

Replacement bolt is "Tapping screw, 904740011" and has an M6 thread.

I've tried to drill it out but my drill doesn't make any headway !

So assumed only option is to replace the bracket, that's the problem.

Thanks for the reply

Should be pretty straight forward drilling off the rivets.
would make drilling out/replacing the bracket easier.

If needed all part numbers for required items listed here (scroll down)
