exhaust manifold bolt repair

New here and looking for some intel.. I did a little searching through old threads already and didn't really find much info. I have 4.6L engine and have a couple of broken bolts.. have been there for a while now and really need to do something about it, but would like to try to do it myself. The biggest issue is that I don't have a ton of equipment to work with. I know you can drill them and all that but would rather find a different route. Was looking online for solutions and came across kral auto parts exhaust manifold brackets and have watched some videos on the installation for some of the GM brackets that they have. Seems like a pretty doable job and reviews are all positive. Looks like the bracket directly mounts to the factory holes in the manifold. They do make a few different Ford parts, so I was just reaching out to see if anyone has used these before or has ever been in contact with this company? I plan to make a call tomorrow to find out more. Any info would be appreciated.

that is a cheap quick fix that works long enough to sell it. ....then it becomes someone else's problem.
also, they are for LS engines only. there is none for ford engines.
