If it goes into top half, it's more difficult to access without removing the frame, but is doable.Deon's webpage showing 'Alloy motorbike welding' examples is here:  <a href="http://www.allmetalweldingservices.co.uk/MobileOnsiteMotorcycleWeldingRepairs.html" target="_blank">http://www.allmetalweldingservices.co.uk/MobileOnsiteMotorcycleWeldingRepairs.html</a>PS:  Some of the engine case welding wouldn't win a beauty contest, but that's not it's purpose... which is to save replacement costs and provide a sound weld, usually more strong than the original.  Most of those 'less pretty' welds are not seen when engine casing re-installed.Best of luck getting hold of Snowandy...! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
