i dont believe so.

i think i'm just gonna have to suck it up and pay the piper... or... drill it out, tap it up a size and use a piece of like M14x1.5 all thread and double nut it on the other side of the stabilizer...

and order jose's brace.

tijuana tig job with low voltage 9018 to burn and some aluminum filler into the hole, then a 7/16 fine thread helicoil kit and a new grade 8 bolt with A LOT of thread locker.

i'll be looking to get one of Jose's braces or making one of my own soon.
