As titled; looking for a welder/forgeman who can help out replace/move some brake mounts?
Easy chop and weld jobby - but it's small and fiddly so don't fancy using my Arc welder on it
any info would be awesome - even KrisB perhaps?

Kris does not have a welder, so thats him out.
There are a load of welders in the portsmouth area, but I have only used one garage in Fareham, to weld up my doors and bonnet to smooth them.
