Sorry, I think a little more information or a picture would help.

There may be good and bad ways to attempt to remove the screw depending on where the particular screw is/was. Until you post back, encourage your dad to wait and not to dive into this with screw extractors.

I am guessing at one of the three screws on the top of the dashpot thingy

the cars a 1972 'L' reg.

the broken screws are on the float chamber and it is all three of the screws :saywhat:




what will be the best way to get them out? the thread sticks out a bit on each side of the metal, would they come out with a pair of pliers and brute force?

thanks for any help i get
