For that purpose they are great, but once a bolt gets rusted shut the don't hold up well. I've found the best way to remove rusted bolts is a good soaking in PB Blaster, then a hit with a cordless impact with a 3/8 adapter. The shock tends to break it free while the slow steady pressure of a wrench/socket will cause the snap. I have yet to snap a bolt with the impact but have broken a metric $#!^ ton with sockets.

Oh I've broke plenty of ---- with an impact. Although my car is rusted all over. Expect the body, which I guess is nice.

Drill out the the center then use a larger drill, and open it a little more then use self tapping bolts, or is your car concourse ready and you need the correct bolts.
Relax it's a miata...LOL |

If you have to nut and bolt it, that way you don't have to worry if it seizes again.
