MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Brake Cylinder Hone - NMC

Just rebuilding the rear brake master cylinder on my old Honda 750/4 and it looks like it could do with a hone. Unfortunately, the bore size is 14mm and all the hones I have been able to find - FROST, Eastwood, Ebay etc - all seem to start at around 18-19mm.

Anyone know where I can get a suitably sized hone?

Lovely bike, Dave!

I ran into a similar problem a few years ago when I wanted to rebuild the clutch slave cylinder on my midget. I had a small 3-stone hone, but it was too large. I finally found a little one with two stones, and it worked fine. Maybe you can find a similar one.

Best of luck,
