Vintage Yamaha cylinder sleeving was created by thumperstew

Who offers cylinder sleeving for the DT-1 family engines?  Specifically for a 72 DT2MX.  I see Vintco and LA sleeve but not for the older DT1 family. 
As another option, how well does the DT2/3 cylinder work with a DT2MX lower end?  Any guide lines to port a DT2 cylinder up to near DT2MX performance? US based please.  Thanks

Replied by RT325 on topic Vintage Yamaha cylinder sleeving

Personaly I'd be looking to use an aftermarket piston kit from a yz or something with the same pin height even just a dt2-3 kit before looking at sleeving. Had the best days of racing on my dt2mx when new but was only on first over when I sold it. Went to an mx250 next which in my recollection was a step sideways rather than up. But worked for the agent so had to have the flavour of the day haha.
