Hi Guys, is there anyone reputable that does this work in the UK?

Thanks,

John.

I've just re read that and i've not been clear at all. I mean to say I have a pair of 48IDAs and would like them bored to 51.5 with the new spindles and butterflies. I see JayCee does offer this but if there is someone in the UK who is know to do carry out the work then that would be a lot easier.

Thanks

John.

It would probably work out quicker and easier to sell your 48s and buy some 51.5s already done. Stretch has got a pair for sale for £1000 and you should get £800-£900 back for the 48s. I remember reading about boring them out and it's not easy!

I do the work , but Neil is right, if you get the ones for 1000 and sell yours it is cheaper. i need 480 euors for it

If youre 48's is limiting your engine, then buy a raptor kit instead...
