and byte me for a typo $350 should have been the number....

$ when all said and done >$350 means I cant afford it. so dont count my order
$ when all said and done <$350 I can afford it so count my order.

and as mentioned you can get around the import tax if multiple people purchase seperately but consign all items to one place for further distribution... OR if there is a bulk distribuition order coming from one freight warehouse (in the UK) to another freight warehouse (AUS) the big box turns up, gets seperated and the individual parcels go out from there....

someone, somewhere, at some time already did all this research, I think they were planning on bringing some diffs in from the USA....

Yes I get it dave I know you put a lot of work into finding stuff out.......but in all fairness when you wrote this

hunt around for the setup I was going to try out for getting detroit diffs for those going to cooma.

(it was canned due to there being no difference in individual shipping costs or bulk shipping)

I didn't really see the point of persuing as you kind of gave me the impression there was no point!:)

That is why I have been chasing individual shipping costs......more so over bulk....in saying that they are just not working out..


So my next question is would there be any interested parties in recieving a consignment of four to each state? if we have enough people from each state? a bit like we did with the PUMA transmission guards
we think we can get 4 in a consigment talking to the man.....with adjusting a few things, he is happy to work with me! The only other thing I thought about was briging them in on manufacturer samples but they may be a bit necky............

I have just checked the exchange rate and at this point its not looking good

46p to 1 AUD:(

That makes the units $440 delivered to sydney........That is coming in a consignment of 4..................

I think it would be a case of nutting it out getting it already for those that seriously want to purchase and hitting the buy button when the dollar is up.

I will estimate the price being between $415/$450 I have stressed this before it all depends on the exchange rate......As postage once quoted should stay the same, although I'm yet to find out whether there is much difference in cost to other states.

DHL got back to me and for 1 unit they quoted over $600:eek: freight it appears we dont get them juicy discounts unless you have an account with them :BigCry:

for the diffs there was no point as they broke the Weight/bulk barrier and weighed too much for the item to get cheaper by bulk shipping.

thats the key thing that will make or break bulk/individual to country.

I've had one of these X-eng disc hand brake for over a year now, and can thoroughly recommend it. I imported it myself, and although it was not cheap, I felt it was a small price to pay, when it comes to the possibility of loosing my vehicle.
It was very easy to fit, and extremely effective in some fairly hairy situations:D and I'm not expecting to do any maintainence on the unit for a fair while. The only hiccup was my own fault; failing to tighten the handbrake cable, the 110 and trailer ended up selfdriving down a riverbank on the OTR, lucky I was out of the way, as I was on my own:eek:. Needless to say, the cable (a simple job, just slack:p) was tightened immediately. Now it would hold in just about any position, and did!.

Just ordered one:D
