Been looking on the USA ebay site for some rings myself. Got some a lot cheaper, but i may get stung with a bit more from Customs. Fingers crossed. Worth looking further afield sometimes.

Mine are for my 1135 efe motor.
Bear in mind import duty may be payable.

Was a bit of a fuck up tbh mate. Some dozy twat of a warehouse guy in the USA screwed up when he did the commercial invoice. Instead of putting 1 x 4 sets of rings he put put 4 x 4 sets of rings. $650 instead of $150 - sorted it in the end though.
Am kinda hoping he put 4 sets of 4 in the box though

You got a refund from customs/parcelfarce mate?/
That's a first...
I had someone put wrong value on parcel & despite getting the seller to agree the true value customs & parcelfarce didn't want to know!!
BARSTEWARDS
