Eric can still be your hero Webby, as he's demonstrated a fine bit of improvisation! 
and he hasn't tried to pass it off as any thing but....

I usually have mine set at 22 auto eco and driving around this afternoon, I thought of this thread so turned the AC on. 
The car promptly fogged up!
New pollen filter time I think.

He's in the undergrowth.
Maybe if we take the piss enough he'll break cover!
Now there's a challenge! Is that take the piss in general or of him specifically?
Generally I think will be enough to lure him out!
Maybe we could get oilman to join in...

If he'd bodged it like that and then passed it off as a proper repair then that's bad! 
However the fact that he's filmed it and posted on the internet suggests that he's discussed the options with the customer, as I sure that 99% of Eric's customers would watch the video of their car being repaired.
I feel for you though Webby, finding out that your hero isn't the super-being you thought he was must be like finding out Father Christmas dosn't exist!

It's a bodge, but a fine bodge! 
As long as it didn't overheat or leak and the stud held what's the problem? 
It's a 14 year old car that he obviously didn't think was worth changing the head.
I did a similar bodge on my old CBR600 when I snapped a stud when changing the downpipes. When I tried drilling the stud, my drill skidded off and into the head! Hey ho, so I drilled a bit more and I was luckier than Eric as I missed the waterways. I tapped the hole and put a new stud in which was on a bit of a crazy angle! But it held and it worked!

1) Go into nearest tyre shop.
2) Request cheapest budget tyres.
3) Go and drink coffee.
HTH.
No, No, No, I have recently learned, buy tyres on line and get local garage to fit, ballance etc and save a shed load of money..............
Do they do the coffee online as well?
