Trimming coilover perches to accomodate smaller ID springs - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hello gentlemen,
Can anyone recommend the best tool for this job? I am attempting to trim my coilover seat perches and top hats to be used with 60mm ID springs, but I only have a puny dremel and terrible workmanship.
I would like to shave them all the way down to the base, but without making any scuffs on the face of the seat itself. That would probably require some kind of precision tool. As you can see in the picture below I stopped a a couple millimeters above because I am afraid of accidentally scratching up the seat.
Are there any shops or individuals on Zilvia that could possibly do this professionally?
Thank you for any tips.

Are you sure there is enough material on the one on the left? I can get them done for you on the lathe, I'll have to check on price. I'll PM you tonight.
