    Thanks, will ask them to quote freight (quite probably come out the same [:-(])

    $290 from Hadrians might be the go. Mine are way too rusted so unless i find somebody with spare new ones here in Australia I am going to be poor.

    ConsiderJaycee's advice. I got mine from that source. Nowhere near what you have been quoted for the parts or freight.

    Try Palmside in NZ. They have Mk1 A pillars listed at 150NZ and postage won't nearly be as high as from the UK.

    If you're ever getting parts from the UK have a look here for quotes - much cheaper than some prices I have recieved from sellers! I was quoted 117GBP for a pair of cams weighing 7kg through UPS but was half that through these guys

    I look at Palmside regularly but totally forgot about them this time. They work out at AUD$240 for the pair so freight needs to be less than AUS$50 for them to be worthwhile.

    Parcel2Go is def about half the price of other freight quotes so thanks Paul. Will see if Hadrian will arrange freight via them else I will have to do it from this end.

    I did note that Parcel2Go use the dimensions Hadrian quoted me but work out the price volumetrically ie 8kg rather than the real 3kg. I might as well see if there are any other bits I could use that would fit within those dimensions!!!

    i dont recall seeing those anywhere mate.

    I assume you have tried Expressed www.steelpanels.co.uk and Hadrians www.carpanels.co.uk? Dont recall that they do them though.
