WTD someone to raise my engine

Hi all,

I'm looking for someone in the Essex area that can do some fabricating work for me. Basically i have an MK indy r1 but the engine sits way to low. I plan to get some spacers to bring the engine cradle up 20mm but there are two brace bars connected to the lower chassis rail from the engine that would need cutting, lengthening and re-welding at a different angle.

Any suggestions? I spoke to my local garage but they're not keen.

i am in the same boat!! the engines are sat very low.
my sump is stuck 60mm below the car and i was thinking of raising it 60mm for a flat floor,
the spacers cant be that hard, just some aly round bar and a pillar drill, it those bottom mounts that make it harder.
