BB shell width reduction/refacing?

Can anyone recommend somewhere (framebuilder/LBS/helpful chap with refacing tool) that can help me reduce the width of the bottom bracket shell on my Raleigh Stowaway fixed project by 8mm (from 76mm to 68mm)?
Please.
Fingers crossed.
Thanks in advance.

I'm sure you have but just incase you could ask Sheldon

super ted did a great job on one of my bikes where the BB shell had been a bit mashed up
he re cut it and refaced it and the new BB went in smooth as you like

Here's a great resource for the Raleigh 20/Stowaway - http://raleightwenty.webs.com/

I've done a similar job to the one you're thinking about on my own Raleigh 20 / Stowaway.

I ground down the drive side by about 4mm down to 73mm (which, along with 68mm is a standard size for BB width. It was much easier than I thought and I was able to get a very clean and square result using a grinder, then a coarse file, then a fine one, then a bit of sandpaper to finish it off. Probably took 15 minutes at the most (and I'm a real stickler for this kind of thing).

After that, the drive side cup took some effort to screw into the BB, having to go 4mm further into the BB - the threads were there, just a little stiff. The drive side cup stopped turning at exactly the right point.

FYI, the axle that I'm using is available from ebay - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380144695945

The non-drive side cup went in fine and there was enough room for the lock ring. I ended up with a perfect chain line (possible more by luck than judgement).

Good luck with yours.

Cheers for all the info, especially the link to the axle, you've just saved me a lot of dicking around.
