2009 YZ250F FRAME conversion?

Hello to everybody here.
I tried a search to find what I was looking for.
Unfortunately I couldn't find anything.
So maybe someone could direct me to the info I seek ?

I recently traded an 06 yz450f for 2 project bikes.
One is a 2002 cr250 with a blown top end.

The other is the reason I am here.
It's a 2009 yz250f frame with a 90's cr500 motor.

My problem so far is that the front section of the " y" frame has been cut.
Previous owner was heading the route of fabricating or machining the piece.
I can obviously find multiple sources to fit this in the 02 cr frame, but I think I'll just rebuild that top end.
So does anybody sell/fab/machine the part im looking for?
Maybe someone can direct me to a source that can help.

I live in northwest bc Canada and I can find plenty of highly skilled aluminum welders.
But the machinists and fabricators here may not have the skill or knowledge.
Can anybody direct me in this please.

There is only one similar conversion I'm aware of, and the work on that bike was, shall we say, sub par. Hopefully someone else can be of more help.
