Series I head gaskets

[gromit]

After scouring the internet looking for a spreadbore head gasket I found one on Ebay, Picture shows the siamese gasket so contacted seller and he told me the picture is correct. Not taking a risk so kept looking...
Contacted the Series I Club and they have a full gasket set for 52GBP so ordered one and just waiting for them to confirm the freight.

You don't need to be a member to buy parts so if you're stuck for parts it's worth contacting them.

Freight could be $50-100. Getting real expensive.
$400 postage for my S1 Hood, from Comptons2000 (UCC) They were shocked.

But if I can't source one locally I don't have much choice........

Auto Surplus did list them but turned out only the Siamese.

I will Say,
Might be better to get more than one......Probably same postage costs.

Many of these suppliers have contracts with couriers who collect from the business. This adds to the cost of shipping. I always ask if they can send via Royal Mail (you can go in the RM website and work out shipping costs) which are normally much less than the courier cost. Some will oblige and some will not as they do not want to go to the post office. Shipping times are similar to courier if "air Mail' is selected.

Where it is cost effective, I always try to get smaller packages sent via Royal Mail and if the seller will not do this I try elsewhere - sometimes works, sometimes not but worth a try.

Australia Post this end would add significantly to the delivery time !

Taking to the Post Office can be a pain unless the business has a collection service from the Post Office.
