The first idea was to cut the section out of another case that has damaged mounts and other cracks then i decided to just make the section
but first make a jig to weld it in

Next to clean up the hole
Fit the section
Start to tack it in
Made a bit of a mistake here , i should have chamfered the edges before tacking it.
It took a while with a die grinder to do it in place , will know better next time.

Put it in the jig to weld it then
Weld the inside to seal it up
Done
It was sandblasted to look original and the other case is saved from the recycler to be fixed another day
