I think he means Lates that they have imported O/S for other cars but don't think they have the right size for the KV6.
I believe the original shells were colour coded to the journals.
Presumably the journals can be reground to take a set of the same size shells, ie with no variation.
Wonder what Xpart/Rimmers solution is to supplying suitable shells ?
In the UK I think I would be searching for a low mileage S/H engine from a scrappie in preferance !
