You dont even need a machine shop to just weld the extension hole on,, Any 1/2 way competent welder can do that,, The load is nothing, its under pressure. It could be brazed & last forever, tho Id want to fish plate it if I was brazen enough to go that way,, You put an extension on it & then it Cant spit its guts into the engine, because the tensioner spring cant shove its guts out far enough. BUT, A slot & a pressed in roll pin make for some fine insurance on the day a new cam chain does go in..
Check the local community college welding shop.. Take some Versy pics & that thing ( cleaned up, dry) & see what kinda deal you can make,, a 6 pack may do it,,
