As you know the frame is aluminium, and the yoke is a fairly low carbon steel, which means that welding the yoke is easier than the frame, file the damaged bit of the frame nice and flat, get someone to weld a blob onto the lock stop stub on the yoke, it doesn't matter which part is built up - as long as the material is there, reassemble and then file down the blob until the yoke stops in the right spot.
Much cheaper and much easier than either replacing the yoke or welding the frame.
