Broke one of the adjustment bolts

Just after easter I managed to break one of the adjustment bolts, the left one. Since then I've been trying to get it fixed without any result.

First mechanic tried with welding but didn't manage to pull it out. He made a temporary adjuster I used for a while. Second mechanic tried drilling but the shape of the rear arm makes it really difficult. I even tried using some of those bolt extractors (not sure if this is the correct term) but it broke inside the broken nut on the first try. Dremel wasnt helpful and bigger drills can't gen in due to the shape of the rear arm end.

After this I contacted a few other shops but they've all turned me down because "it's too complicated" or some other excuse.


I've seen a couple of adjusters that hook on the back of the swingarm. Are there any systems that might fit the XTX? Closest I found was this MT-07 ones but theyre damn expensive and Im not sure it fits my X.
