Jowjup 1 Posted April 12 Thanks everyone for the replies. I will try to make contact with that seller. Of course I would pay the shipping and extra for the hassle of doing so. Also working another option. My son has a friend who lives south of London who has offered to pick them up. I will report back. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it that much of a hassle and requires too much time to package and fill out a bit if paperwork? Just add it to the shipping cost. I must be missing something. Sine Brexit, shipping to Europe is more hassle - the customs people seem to be very pedantic & stuff gets returned for spurious reasons. US shipping is probably diffficult again through bureaucracy, paperwork etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jowjup 1 Posted April 14 Thanks Lotuscops for your words. Understandable but sad the world has gotten like this. Oh well. The FB post of the struts being sold by your friend does not come up anymore so they must have sold. I'm still looking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jowjup 1 Posted May 8 Thank you. I have communicated with this individual over the past couple months. These have not sold and have been at auction at least 4 times now. They are priced at twice what I have seen advertised on Facebook in England where I have seen 2 sets sell for £100.... but those sellers would not ship to USA. This set on ebay is a possibility although they are more expensive and shipping would double the cost again! There has got to be someone in the states here who has a set. I just haven't found that someone. Thanks for your message. John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
