Hey, treerootCO
Is this the kind of hone that you are using? And what kind of abrasive material are they?
thanks

Thanks! Where did you find the 1200, 2000, & 3000 grit stones? i have been searching and can only find 500 grit replacement stones.

thanks again

I just have the one set on the hone. The others are wet sanding with a piece of paper wrapped around a bit that is wrapped in a small piece of Scotchbrite pad. It takes a bit to get the paper to wrap tight enough to fit in the cylinder but it allows the drill press to spin the paper instead of doing it by hand.

The hose is now available in my store. Search for "FJ25 brake hose".

Nice work. This just answered some tech questions I had. I need to crawl through your site and grab a handful of things to have here in stock!

Racer65's hose for anyone looking:
