Sunnen stones

[Miskin]

I need your help about Sunnen stones. I want you to recommend me a site in USA or in Europe where i can order some Sunnen stones from Greece. The Greek retailer needs 4 months (!) to order the stones. My employer is ready to shoot himself ( and the retailer ) because of loosing customers. So he ask my help and i ask yours.

Is there any chance what you need is available on Ebay in a quantity large enough to tied your company over till you get your order.

Alternately have you tried calling a US Dealer, to see if they'd be willing to ship to you.

I already check ebay but the stone codes don´t match. Different codes. The US dealer will point me the Greek Authorised retailer. I need an independent US or Euro dealer.

What is the specific code for the stones you are looking for? The more info you can provide to us the better. There may or may not be a full line independent supplier, but there might be a source of some specific stones that could be shipped to you.

You also mentioned that you searched Ebay already, but if you did just a basic search you might have missed a listing. If we know the model number you are looking for someone here might be able to find some that never sold using an Ebay "completed listings" search, more in-depth title and description search, etc.

The list is very big to write down now. I´m at work and this is difficult (working and texting).
We also need mandrels and guide shoes. But we are in a hurry for stones. More than 100 stones,
6-7 mandrels and 5 sets of guide shoes. 8-10 different stone codes. It´s very important to make the order from one retailer to minimise the shipping costs to Greece.

Oh, never mind. If you need all that Ebay and other smaller sources are most likely not going to work for you anyways. I guess it is only independent larger retailers to look for then, for them to hopefully have a lot of that sort of stuff in stock and also willing/able to ship internationally.

I found a few larger sites that carry a lot of Sunnen products online and also ship internationally, but they state in the shipping conditions that they are only authorized by Sunnen to ship from the US to countries within the western hemisphere which is pretty much only North and South America and the westernmost tip of Africa. You might have to source the stones from another country within the eastern hemisphere for them to be able to ship to you in Greece.

This is the site I found that exporting info on.

Just to let you know, your original post was pretty late at night for most of us in the US to read and respond to it, so the site traffic reading your questions up until now has been very low. Right about now is when the traffic on this site starts to pick up from people in the US (on the east coast) starting to get out of bed. You will probably have a lot more help within the next several hours.

Thanks for your time and interest. I will check the link you posted.

My brother sells a lot of Sunnen and other engine rebuilding equipment on ebay. Machinedave0 is his seller I.D. on ebay. Its amazing how much of it ships overseas because of Sunnens policy on overseas shipping. What size range are your stones? From looking at your picture of the hone the mandrel looks pretty small. We have the same machine (older version) I was going to suggest Goodson as well but I see it has been mentioned already. If you can get a list of numbers maybe he can help out with a few. He doesn't have tons of the stuff but maybe he can get you a few to get by until your big order comes in.

Perhaps buy them online and ship to another GJ member that will foreword them to you

Find an online store in the US that has the stones, then find a UPS Store and make arraignments to have them shipped to the store and have the store ship them to Greece. There are other mail service stores that do this kind of service as well.

I try to find "Machinedave0" but didn't find anything on ebay. Could you post a link?

Here is the link to machinedave0. It doesn't look like he has much for sale right now so will have to contact him to see what he might have that is not listed.
