Crankcase repair? TIG?

[TezzerTel]

So when I got my engine out if the frame 3 bolts were totally seized and I had to saw them off. Now I'm removing them from the crankcase one of them has expanded with corrosion so much it's cracked the aluminium. I'm thinking I need a talented person with a TIG welder? To be fair when I put a nut in there it has nearly 5/6 contact on the face.

Help, advice and options all welcome!!

had the same with Lazarus, i replaced crankcase but probably could be repaired by a skilled welder.

What bike is it? I have some 550 bottom halves about

If its a 400 I have a crakcase pair plus the crankshaft.

I am a couple of miles from junc 12 of M5 if you want some cases

[TezzerTel]

I'm travelling down there next week what do you want for them?

[Bryanj]

Not a lot mate, do need to know what day though as i do 4 on 4 off nights, my work is even closer to the junction though

Thanks for all the help and replies. On my way home last night I met a really nice guy that goes by the forum name of Bryanj who supplied me with a set of cases. Thank you very much that saves me looking for someone to weld my old cases.
