I need a pair of A pillar outer panels for a Mk1 Escort. Anybody?????

Hadrian are quoting 60 pounds for the panels and 115 pounds freight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Expressed wont even give me a freight quote.

try classiccarpartsdirect.com.uk ,
they are also on uk ebay

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 just got the chance to look at my records, I bought 2 pillars & 2 sills from beevers 18 months ago and the frieght from uk was 80 pounds
