1970 RT1 crankcase damage was created by Tinker man

Morning everyone

latest issue for me.  When I got this bike it came with the flywheel cover not fitted.  The cover supplied had some damage so I obtained a better one. When I came to fit it it wouldn’t.  It was touching the sprocket cover and wouldn’t let me align the holes in the cover with the crankcase. I removed the sprocket cover and discovered why. Looks like possible chain damage. An “interesting” repair done which isn’t quite in the right place.  This is causing my issue. 
I can modify the repair to be better I imagine.  I just wondered if anyone has a better solution.  I hope the pictures have posted.

i don’t want to change the crankcase as it’s the side with the number on and it’s matching to the frame.  

any ideas? Or should I just make the repair I have work.  It just doesn’t look pretty. 

thanks, ian

I love taking stuff to bits - putting back together is another thing altogether.
