So my question is can anyone offer me any advice on what the best course of action is, it it a total strip out job or can I just drop the rear swing arm, remove the fuel pump and move the pipes out the way and get someone to weld a plate in?
Thanks in advance.

I know it's a pain and more work, but better than blowing yourself up! If you choose not to, then you're probably best doing with with a full tank of fuel in, as vapour is the immediate danger rather than the fuel itself I believe.
Just be prepared to find more work to be done when you start stripping!!
