How thick is the peice the protrution mounts onto on the frame? You could cut the mounting mount off flush, drill it, tap it and put in a suitable sized stud or bolt. Then weld it in position if needed.
C'mon lets ride....

Broken tap = Not Good.
Time to get it on a trailer to an engineers. Cut of original mount weld on new one.
Oh, and suggest send the gorilla to get the chips next time.

Fuck a duck!
There's a law I'm sure Mr Ixion is familiar with, the Law of Conservation of Fettler's Luck. Luck is never lost or gained, it's merely transferred from one biker to another, or held temporarily in another medium to be restored further down the track.
My workshop day on Saturday went far too well; the headset bearings just about punched themselves out and the fork seals were a piece of piss. It went so easy I got quite worried towards the end. Sounds like I enjoyed a surplus of Fettler's Luck while you suffered a deficit.

One way if there is a bit of stud poking out is force a nut onto the remains and zap it with a mig welderdown the centre. Th eheat hlps loosen the thread, and the nut means you can put a spanner on it.
BTQ, don't buy taps from Mitre10, as you may have noticed, they are crap. Blunt, poorly shaped, no relief and made of Chinese cheese. Buy some decent Sutton ones from an engineers supplies. And use lots of tapping lube and a proper tap wrench.

Little ol'Hornet Rides again!
Ayup, coincidentally I have a student that actually can help out ... his dad owns an engineering firm in East Tamaki and the lad actually works in the place and reckons he could turn it out himself (milling machines, CNC the works ... )
Reckons also it would be a good project for him to do since it "helps out a cool treacher who rides bikes which is superkewls...".
Good gravy, a keen as mustard lad who is motivated to actually want to do something? I think I will look for a zip in the back of his head ...
"I like to ride anyplace, anywhere, any time, any way!"
gee wizzz
OR you could do as I suggested on saturgay and leave it with me to sort out.
To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?
