Their website has been like that forever and if you enquirer you get no response. It may be that if you Harras them you will get a response but it seems at best it's a second or third business that they run. I personally would stay away

umm, I don't think theres a prob chaps.
I bought a set of longer wheel studs to suit fitting the minilights from SMCKA about 3 months ago, and no problem then.
 
I sussed magnum out for some panels also, at around the same time, wanting to buy direct because I figured I needed a bit of gear.Plus the money tree had a few leaves left then.
They said at the time that SMCKA was aus agent, and to go to them.
 
Just lucky?
 
If I think we all need to chip in $10K and set up and Australian Burton/Magnum/Rally aus franchise, and also give the smaller Aus suppliers/ hobbyists more of a combined shopfront.
Uk to Aus Freights the killer.

Purchased a couple of panels from SMCKA last week, quick postage and the new owner Carl is easy to talk to.

I purchased some wheel arch repair sections for my panel van from Carl just before Christmas. I filled out the contact form on his website (leaving my phone number) and he called me the same day. The prices were great and I had the panels a couple of days later. I could have bought them from the UK with the same delivery times i'm sure, but this supports local small business and makes it worthwhile for Carl to keep stock here. Oh and I didn't have to pay $150 in freight.
 
If I needed them any quicker I could have picked them up but travelling through the western suburbs of Melbourne is scary. 
 
Cheers, Craig.
