Thanks unterhausen,
I thought I would use calipers to measure the appropriate place to cut on both this frame and the donor stay. Then, I would measure to the dropout, and prep the end.

I'll see how it goes and take some pics if it works. If it doesn't, I can always take out the whole stay later.
Thanks again,
Neil

Having said that, there is no reason why you couldn't replace a section. You probably don't have to replace all the way up to the brake bridge. The trick is going to be matching the taper and getting the dropout ends domed
