Default Broken Bolt

Hi all,
'75 model. When trying to adjust the angle of the driver's seat back by
backing out on the adjuster bolt that is threaded into the bottom seat frame
it broke off in the weldnut. Rusted solid. I removed the seat and have
been squirting Liquid Wrench and PB Blaster on the broken bolt, from the
underside, for 3 days now and so far have been unable to back it out with
jam-nuts. I'm in no hurry, but any ideas other than trying to drill it out
? If I take a torch to the broken bolt I will set the foam and leather on
fire ! If I don't have good luck, are the left and right seats
interchangeable by swapping the seat forward/rearward adjuster rails ? TIA.
Oh yes, the left and right seat backs were bobbed by the previous owner in
'76 because his wife was short so I don't have to worry about differences in
shoulder harness channels etc.
