I'm pretty sure if I go to checkout that one it's in US dollars, all of that brand I have found have been in the US.
I appreciate your offer though, but I have just managed to barter with a slab to get the local engine shop to ream the ridge and ball hone it for me on Monday. It's so frustrating that you can't buy things like this locally anymore, everything is online now and weeks of waiting. I wonder how many blocks have been ruined by the stone ones at Supercheap in the hands of an idiot. The $200+ ones are the TE ones and proper flex hone brand is about $250 |

Fortunately idiots with a stone hone will only get 1 pass before destroying the hone by going in the bore too far
