First off, Good luck on the show tomorrow.
I see used black swing arms at swap meets for between $50.00 and $75.00, so if someone tries to charge alot too extract the broken bolt check into a used arm as another alternative. Those bolts are loctited in and need to be heated and then drilled with a left hand drill bit, the bolt sometimes will screw out on the bit , if it is heated first. The arm should be heated to the point of barely, and I mean barely fixing to get red. The arm will need to be repainted at the heated area. Good luck on the bolt and the show.
