Thanks for all the responses to my posting. I really appreciate all your advice and knowledge. I just have one thought that a friend of mine suggested that I wanted to bounce off everyone and see what you think.
My friend suggested, since the case is aluminum, to simply drill out the adjuster bolt hole slightly larger and re-tap it. Any ideas or opinions would be welcome.
