Back at the original post :? They look quite good and at that price which is a little expensive [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img] they would have to have a engineering test certificate and a stamped rating or otherwise you would leave yourself open to liability if they let go wilst under strain :evil: the resulting damage to anyone or anything could be extensive and even a MIL-SPEC first-aid kit may be inadiquate [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]

At least the OI ones are Aussie.

The US ones look stronger than the Aussie ones and they are cheaper at US$35 (A$46) each. Add postage and they'd still be cheaper. The US backing plates are US$10 each.

One rarely gets hit for customs duty and tax these days so buying from the USA could be worthwhile.

Ron

I did a tour of some customs establishments the other week - at the international mail centre all they seemed interested in was Ebay and the duty incurred there as when goods are mis declared they can get the correct selling price + shipping may put you into the duty price range which was either $50 or $500, cant nember

You have mentioned nothing to change my views,,,, 8O

ugly but they went around corners.

Hi Harry [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]
No the 1800 and 1100 were UK sourced, but the Marina and the P38 :oops: ----Eer P76 were Aussie designed as was the 1800 ute and station wagon. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]

hey the p76 won car of the year, had a rover based engine and you could fit a 44gallon drum in the boot, very handy if you lived in snow town, funny how they were built in SA. and they were wedge shaped before wedge shaped ment anything

cheers, serg
