Thread: CDL

Del,

My thougts to your questions etc.

• for an extra 20gbp for no exchange I see as small (depending on return postage costs).
• there is usually savings through combined postage.
• the CDL embossed knob is not readliy available to my knowledge in Aus, a lot of us source our parts overseas anyway.
• the outright cost of 237.50gbp + postage seems fair to me.

Hope this helps.

20Kg by air/express post is about $450

2.0-2.5kg is $85
2.5-3 kg is $90

This is why I reckon sourcing one in the UK is going to be the go.

Thats roughly £50.00 GBP. I,ve been offered 10 levers today alone for £21.00GBP each delivered.


Cheers.

Del i would be very interested if you start shipping to Australia, was only just looking at the Ashcroft ones last night. I'd like to go with one you sourced in the UK though, and could send my lever over after as the car is in use everyday. Let us know what you arrange. Maybe you should put up an ebay store, or an AULRO vendor thingo.

Cheers

Its funny Will, ( and not what I was expecting ), but I,ve had WAY more interest from you boys over there, than I,ve had from the UK !.

I am seriously looking into shipping them over, and like all you guys, I am a Landrover ownwer/enthusiast, and would like to make the levers as affordable as I can, and still cover the considerable time and effort it takes to make them.

I am alsomindfull that IF I was to start selling them to you all, that this section of your forum is probably not the place to do it !. ( I dont want a tap on the shoulder from the " headmaster " )

Cheers.

I am very mechanical and was actually thinking about having a look at modifying mine and making my own, but if someone is interested in doing it and wants to make a dollar out of it i am happy to support them, allows me to do other things as well. I would urge you to become a vendor on AULRO and sell them to us over here, definitely worth it and i know a lot of people buy their parts from the UK (myself included). You'd just need to set up some sort of a Paypal account i spose and watch the order roll on in (if you can keep up LOL)

Also should add that most peopel would want you to include the CDL knob aswell as things like that are not easy to get over here, and the pedantic people probably want the little sticker too, but some of us aren't fussed.

Cheers
Will

Who you calling pedantic?

Should have probably said 'perfectionist', but i know how my car works so it doesn't matter to me, plus it will be on the knob.

Del, just thought i'd check to see that you knew of the differences for auto and manual cars, not sure if the part you are making is different though, just thought i'd check.

Cheers
