You can try Coventry Boring but specify that the surface needs to be as smooth as possible from the grinding process otherwise you will encounter brake chatter from braking at speed.

Thurston engineering in Essex. Proper surface ground not crappy lathe skimmed. I've had several done by them and every one has come back perfect.
