North west machine shops?

Hi, not really related to my 75... I have a toyota yaris mk1 and have put a vvc k series engine and pg1 gearbox from a tf into it, the last part to finish are the driveshafts. The current ones i have for the pg1 gearbox are the correct length but the splined end to fit the yaris cv joint is too big (same number of splines though). I just need the ends machining to match the cv joints, can anyone recommend somewhere that can do this for me as close to Preston as possible? Normally use Bambers engine speciallists in Preston but they dont want to tackle this job. Many thanks.

Commercial propshaft services are good for this type of thing, i have used them a few times, their work is excellent.
