Hi got out bid on ebay for the lefthand crankcase cover so was wondering if the part can be welded.

Is it an alloy or is it alluminum any advice would be great as bike is of the road until this part is found or repaired.

Bike is a gsx 600 f on a 91 plate ( yeah it's a dog but it's my dog and I love it )

How big a hole/crack/whatever have you got and where exactly is it?

You can often glue them using posh epoxy resins such as JB weld.

I'm sure I will have some of those in the stock if you want one.
