Default Flywheel skimming

Hi all, does anyone know of a company that skims flywheels in our area?

Yeah I have mate, £100 for a skimmed flywheel but I want to try (if possible) to get one cheaper and save a few pennies.

Cheapest you find is between £60 to £80. I had mine done at Hayes engineering for £60 (trader rates) last year, but by the time I added courier costs, it was more like £80. But if your having your clutch fitted at FB Tuning, is it worth the faff for a possible £10 to £20 saving?

I was looking at buying the lightened and balanced flywheel that mattybr5 is selling on here. It's only done a few miles but am changing my clutch to get rid of the judder I currently have so was going to buy it and get it skimmed just incase.

If its hardly used and skimmed already then may not need doing. You could probably tell by looking at the face of the flywheel. What clutch do you have at the moment that is juddering?

What should I be looking for on the flywheel? I have got one of the early Exedy clutches fitted and have bought an anti judder one from mantas.

You can look at the surface and tell, hard to explain in text, look at pics and read up on the net.
