Ed at Ward Engineering, no question. Just tell him it's urgent as he's not always the quickest, but he's very good.

Tell him Roger King sent you, and while you're at it ask him if he's done my spare diff yet

edit - Nige, I assume you're talking E-type style rear independent. You will need to specify how you want it narrowing as it can affect the position of the shock absorber mounts on the wishbones. There is a standard Hawk jig for this, but if you're doing anything different you may need to have them shortened either side of the shock mount to maintain the correct length/angle for the shock. If you look at a wishbone you'll see what I mean.
