alloy fluted seat post !!!

[jojo]

well had a right game today >:(first i got a alloy seat post that has sheard off near level to frame its a 22.2 any ideas what i can do now i dont wanna scrap it

pull it out to about an inch proud of the seat tube, then drill it and put bolt through. this should give you added leverage, and it should come out. or alternatively get a smaller diameter bar and put it inside, if you have the remainder of the sheared post (seat end) put it in, and it will look near enough the same. this any help?
