Where in Auckland to get manifold flanges machined flat?...

Ok, question is pretty much in header line but anyway... Ive made an exhaust manifold for a 5efte Im building and the head side flange has a slight warp in it so needs to be machined flat, can anyone recommend where to get this done that wont cost moonbeams? I went into an engine recon place today and they quoted $300 to do the job, seems pretty steep to me...

In hindsight I shouldve bolted this to a spare head I have to stop it warping but hey its my first attempt so you live n learn...

my mate at north shore engine recodditioners did it for free, so i doubt itd dcost much more than 20 30 bucks. just ring round

at apd in manukau there is a small workshop inside it called T G heads, he surface grinds my manifolds for me,
is usually around $20, if its really bad it will probably cost more

Thanks for the tip evil_si, went to TJ heads and the dude did a mint job for $40, well pleased. Anyone else planning on doing the same note the shop has moved from Grayson ave down the road to Glasgow Ave...
