Engineering workshops in the midlands?

Any recommendations for engineering shops around Birmingham, Coventry etc?
My SOB's clutch cover needs its bleed valve drilling out and an insert
fitting.
A previous owner had seriously bodged it with an oversize bleed nipple
that only sealed because it was filled with silicone sealant.

What bike? Easier and cheaper to find a decent used cover?

You don't often see Pantah, easy and cheap in the same sentence.
Perhaps a Monster clutch cover would fit.

Or fill the oversize bleed nipple hole with "Alumaloy/Durafix"[1] and
re-tap it for a standard size nipple.

[1] Sold under a multitude of trade names, a low temperature aluminum
alloy filler rod that melts at 728F/387C, all you need is a propane
torch:

I'd certainly have a look at 600SS/Monster covers, because there are a
lot of interchangeable parts between engines, even now.

I just had the GFR top end done by John at Revs in Halesowen. To
bloke. Tiny little unit packed with machining equipment. He does
suspension and engine rebuilds.
He drilled a set scre out of the 'free wheel' on my Voxan when I had
to change the starter sprag clutch.
