The real problem with "tacking on" or drilling is the lack of space and no strait path to the bolt. Just getting a welding rod (bent or otherwise) into the tapped hole without touching part of the chassis or engine will be a delicate operation.
In my case, if the engine had been out of the car, it would have taken me 10 minutes to remove the broken bolt - as it was, it took over an hour of sweat (its tight even with the seats removed), lots of bad language and split knuckles to get the damned thing out. Bulldogs bolt is even more difficult to remove as it snapped deep in the threaded hole.
