Title: To UK parts sellers. 1.I did not fight in USA/UK war in 1812. 2.UK won that war.
Post by: car5car on 05 January 2013, 19:01:37: Considering these 2 facts, I hope, you will change your mind about not shipping parts to USA. ;D
I contacted a few part sellers(Ebay and German parts), but they don't want to ship parts to USA. I guess USA/UK war 1812-1815 is the reason. :)

I wish we were a US state rather than in the EU. But thats a different story.

Not sure if you've posted already but do you have some pics of your caddy mate?? Would love to see them. :y

Post by: TheBoy on 05 January 2013, 19:10:09: I know our postage rates are not as good as USPS, maybe that has an impact? US customs are known to be over zealous as well.

To get an idea of UK to US postage rates, see www.royalmail.com

Post by: 2woody on 06 January 2013, 20:43:18: yes that's right. My experience is that only 10% of US suppliers will export to the UK.

You can send the parts to me and I'll export them to you if you like.
