Am looking to have my new (to me) frame and fork IS tabs faced and as this is about the only job I don't have a tool for I'm looking to outsource to a reputable shop.
I'm on the South Coast near Shoreham by Sea and there are lots of shops within 10 miles or so, but does anyone know of a shop that uses a decent tool for this job with satisfactory results?

Why do you need to have them faced? Normally you can get a brake setup fine as long as you have some thin washers etc.

Any decent shop should have one, it's not a difficult job to do and hard for a cytech mechanic to mess up, I bought my own Hope spot facing tool years ago. You just use hope 0.25 shims to fine tune.
