RS components sell them as do Screwfix
I got a set from RS then bought a larger set in Florida fro about £15
Its expensive but why not get a few friends to chip in for a set ?

winchman:
Bought these at a car boot for £1, no one know what they where, only used them once but saved hours

Designed for pipes but will do big bolts and studs

drmike:
Can you get a drift, punch or chisel anywhere near it? I have had great success with drifting snapped bolts out but you do need a clean tap at it. You seem to generate massive turning forces in a rather gentle way.

Worth a go as it has the merit of costing nothing!

MuddyMike:
I have overcome the same problem by puddle welding a nut onto whats left and using it to simply undo the offending bolt. The heat from welding helps release the thred as well.
