The pieces left in the backing plate were long enough to get me vice grips on and twist them out. I even had enough in one of the spacers to do the same..... the other, well, read below....

I'm meticulous when it come to torquing things. I have a feeling they broke from vibration and corrosion. There was a bit of corrosion around the area they broke
No pics sadly, was too intent on getting the scoot ready for a ride today (that didn't happen due to the rain). Went to HD to see if they had some replacement studs at least, no dice. Went to a
local indy to see if they could help. I had planned on drilling the one spacer and getting what was left of the stud out of it. Well, one of the mechanics did it for me for $5 and suggested replacing the studs with something stainless from home depot. Off I go. ended up getting some 1/4x1 1/2 inch coarse thread pan headed screws. Once home, cut the tops off of them and made them to length. Put it all back together. All done. I even had some spares I made up should it happen again........
I guess it wasn't as bad as it seemed at first. If I find the time, I may shoot AN an email and let them know what happened. Not that big a deal really. Had it fallen off, I would be a little more ticked
Back to your normal programming......
