		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.
