Repairing cracked castings

Could anyone here give me some advice on repairing cracked iron castings?,
I'm
renovating a Lister D generating set and the rear bearing support of the
alternator is cracked, but still in one piece. It's quite a delicate casting
and the crack has sprung apart but can be pressed back together with finger
pressure. It won't be seen as it's under a spun cover so cosmetics aren't
that important, but holding the rear bearing and the brushes is!. Before I
start visiting the local engineering specialists I would be grateful of any
advice.
