If you are going to fill the existing gap, start by gluing several temporary braces across the gap, using them to hold it together and flatten the area while you fit a patch. These braces should be about 6" or so long, attached with reversible glue.

Adrian, here are some examples of those temporary blocks used on the HART that Arnold restored..
As you can see, the blocks were left in till after the crossbars were glued in and taken out only when.. Arnold? (you tell him..
