Default Machine Shops in Brum - Cossie Cam Cover

I've got a cossie cam cover I'm going to rattle can to give it a crackled finish, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a machine shop that could skim the paint off the lettering to leave it highlighted please, and if so roughly what it would cost?

I'd also like an autoquip fitting for it too for the breather in the top, who's best for that - Listers I'd guess?

Tried to PM martin @ reyland as I live all of a mile from his workshop but his PM box is full

Unfortunately not mate, mortgaged to the hilt for the time being but it'll be worth it (I hope!!). Seen some piccies of the old bus and it looks awesome fella - kinda what I wish I'd had the money to do! I've still got some yellow stuff brake pads for the AP's at my parents I think, if you PM me an addy I'm happy to stick em in the post for you.

As sad as it sounds I'm gonna clean up the cover and have it framed with a t34 turbo I've still got alongside it as a bit of an arty momento.

sounds like a good guess! will get the paint bit done and pop down to see who you'd recommend to take it to
