Wrong section but I'll tell ya.

You need to butcher those bolts off. If you have a really thin chisel or an old flat head screwdriver you don't mind sharping the tip of use that.

What you have to do is tap the chisel (or a modified flat head) on the bolt to make a groove big enough to get a flat head in there so you can turn it out easily. do the same for the other bolt.

You can reuse the bolts you made the grooves in for your replacement ignition or you could just get some new bolts for it.

For future record, I found that the easiest way I found of getting the two bolts out (after you've pulled the shrouding and unplugged the cables) is to use a Dremel cutting disc to cut two slots in the bracket/bolt. Use a flat head screwdriver to undo the screws, then reuse the screws to fasten the new ignition barrel.

Job is pretty easy and can be knocked over in 30 mins.
