Default Knuckle Head Barrels

I was reading the thread by Panz 4ever about a pan chopper he's going through and he mentioned L A Sleeve for one of the barrels he has.

My question is, Has anyone here used them L A Sleeve?? and would you recommend them? I have a pair of Knuckle barrels for a 1946 74" that I would like to bring back to standard size. I'm in New York and wondering if the expense would be worth it to ship them to California.

We used them for 30 plus years but they are bolted on 8 1/2 to one pistons as a kit withthe sleeves install and and fitted - today we only use 7 1/2 to 1 its the gas
