If there were goop that would hold a broken bracket like this together, I
think we would all know about it, and be regular users thereof. I can't tell
for sure, but it sounds as though a "new piece" would solve both your
problems. If so, invest your time, money and effort in that.

In removing stuff from the 63's engine bay I had the brilliant idea,
never a good sign, to take the generator out.

In doing so I broke the bolt on the battery side bracket off.   Right at
the head, so their is some of the bolt exposed.
        Thinking of drilling it out.
        Notching it with a dremel so I can try the screwdriver method.
Putting on penetrating oil, applying heat, praying and trying to
screwdriver it out.
        Anybody have a prefered method, and why.

Also place where the rear bolt connects on the pump side of the bracket
snapped off.  Any goops that will actually re-attach or am I going to be
trying to buy a new piece.
