[Fot] Buying Parts From England?

[Tony Sheach]

If anyone is coming over I don’t mind holding a few boxes of bits for putting in ‘hold luggage’ - we are only a couple of hours from Heathrow.

Also, in due in NY weekend of 18/19 Feb and apparently we can have a third suitcase … I’m calling the snap on man for the home trip, but on the way out it might be empty !

Don, I recently bought a couple of head gaskets from Racetorations (in England).  The total from them was under $300 as I recall.  I got a bill for $140 in tariffs from the shipping vendor which I had to pay prior to delivery.  I don't remember exact shipping but that part didn't feel out of line.  The tariffs payment sucked.

Regards, Tony
