I looked at a batwing for my disco a couple of days ago and they were much cheaper than the OZ one but freight of GBP 200!!!! which bought them up to AUD 700 or near the OZ one.

Yes, can be hit and miss with freight on big items. A few years ago I found the Safari snorkels made in Australia were cheaper exUK by approx $200.00 AUD per snorkel despite it having been freighted from Australia to UK and then back...

If not in a hurry, and with a bit of pre-planning, maybe sea travel will become more of an option/prevalent for such items? (Especially for group buys?)

I also note that on some occasions in the world before COVID, sea intended items have been airfreighted anyway.

A quick google search with that JAK part number shows TR Spares has them listed(ie. in Aus, and in stock) for $425 at the moment.

I've heard of them(TR Spares) but dunno nothing about them.
There are probably other local sources too, didn't look into them.

Can Roverlord Off Road Spares supply these, Mario?

Atlantic British has them. Very expensive though.

Although they do snap nicely in half to make shipping easier. [emoji848]
