71 rupp frame repair

#1
Hello, anyone ever repaired the swing arm mount holes on the 71 frame that have been slightly elongated? Would be interested in knowing the best method. One of my holes is slightly out of round and allows the swing arm to move off center more than I would like. Thanks

on the frame itself? I usually weld a bead around holes like that grind back smooth and then use a step drill to get it back to size. just touching the the next size on the step to the hole gives the edge a nice smooth finish as well. Probably gotta break out the welder to hit the edges where the kickstand rests anyway they are usually beat to hell too...
