855 Swing Arm

Hi All,
New to the forum so forgive any mistakes!
I'm in the process of re-doing my 855. During this process I noticed that I had a crack in the pivot point clamp on the alu swing arm. I have got as far as a 2007 LX group set, girvin expert forks, spin tri-spoke wheels and am looking at a risse rear shock upgrade. However this crack has brought a halt to the whole thing.
If anyone has a swing arm that will fit an 855 or a complete frame set if you don't want to seperate I would love to hear as I don't want to give up on this bike!
Here's hoping, thanks.

Ask around for a competant welder. He (or she) can groove, cold weld with 5356 filler and let sit for a week.
You could have a sleeve mandrel turned to fit inside the hole as a backing, then the welder can weld against it. Drive it out and presto, let it sit for a week.
