Default Anyone know a good machining workshop?

Hello organs. I'm trying to find a metalwork place, preferably around london, where they can do machining and billet sort of stuff. I've tried google but I'm having no joy. What should I enter in the search box?

If you can recommend me one or know the best way to search please reply.

Thanking you kindly!

I need a small part of a yoke machined out and then an insert made to effectively move the steering pivot.

I have been looking for places who have ccm measuring equipment too but not much luck.

I'll do a little picture ad send it to you DavieSV.
