Broke the two studs for the second mounting point of the steering column...What is the best way to fix this?

If you can drill them out then just get some nut/bolts and bolt the column down.

I looked at that option but they are basically bolts welded to the back side of the bracket.

Was looking at that as a last option honestly lol

So you are looking at the easiest option as the last option? What is your first option...ducktape?

I obviously dont know what the easiest option is, or what other options I had this is why I asked how can I fix this. If I find out this (drilling out) being my only and best option then I will take action.

If they are welded, i guess if your handy with welding cut them things off and weld on new studs. But i think if you can drill it out big enough you might be ok?
