Default <soto voce> Brake disk skimming?

At the risk of stirring up sleeping trolls, anyone know of a reliable
firm/bod in the S London area that could skim the disk from my
Morini? It's not warped but has got scored up and given that the
thing's about half an inch thick, there's plenty of meat to work
with.

TIA

Any machine shop/general engineers can do this. The Morini discs are Brembos
and made from cast iron iirc, so no issues at all there. If you get really
stuck, I'll do it here at work (Dorset).

There's a machine shop in the same courtyard as my workshop (Hove). He's
an old boy, been there for 30 or 40 years.

There's the place I used in Kingston. I'd have to Google for them.

If you get stuck pop it over to me (N. Herts) and I'll bung in on the
lathe.

Thanks all. Is the UR likely to be going anywhere near N Herts or
Dorset from S London any time soon?

I'm actually coming up to Sutton/Croydon/Haywards Heath (M25/A217/M23/A22..)
later this week. If you can get the disc to any one of those areas I may be
able to collect.
