yer know what, that's bloody reasonable, not to say cheap. Just been
charged 25 notes to post a camera. Mind, the sort of packing needed to
reliably get a camera delivered is a bit more impressive than that needed
for chassis parts, but even so.
Can you bung that and a drag-link ball joint (SIII, 1971, chassis number
about 420-odd) in the post, please? (balljoint at the steering box end, if
it matters)
Unless, of course, there's anyone coming to the unofficial this weekend from
near you?
oh, and BTW - is the top shock mounting (the bit on the chassis) for the
SIII LWB rear shock available as a part to weld on? if so, I need one of
them too, if not I'm going to have to fabricate it.
