Default SunL 150 / Gy6 - Broken Chain Adjuster & Possible Ext. Gearbox Mount Upgrade

From what I was told by the guy that I bought it from is that when the original owner flipped the buggy it broke off the chain adjuster portion of the engine casting so he rigged up a "hanger" type of aduster that more or less craddles the shape of the lower portion of the engine case. It works, but I don't like how it is slowly wearing into the case. I have thought about fabricating a similar device but shaping it to match the case better and also trying to use some of the pockets & holes in the casting as secondary supports / mounts but some of the areas look pretty thin and I don't want to make it worse. Also, has anybody ever added more brackets to strengthen up the way the external gearbox is mounted. To me the original design looks alittle weak. Any suggestions on these 2 items? Thanks for everyones input.
