Ouch. Yeah, that makes it a bugger.

Hmmm. I'm surprised there are no Primera owners from London on this forum. I'm also surprised there aren't freight companies that can calculate the various taxes and duty and add it to the cost of shipping to your door. I'd like to think there is a better solution out there, but admittedly am no help.

YIKES!! Somebody is very proud of their mandrel bends. I've got to believe there is a source that is cheaper than that. I paid about $15 each. With the motorsports industry in Great Britain I would think mandrel bends would be readily available for a cheap price. Have you tried Demon Tweaks? I've got to believe you can find a better price.
