Yes 'Finishline' is far cheaper than Aust. prices - most get them from the USA or similiar and on sell them.

Enzo at Finishline will have it well packaged and back to you within a week.They are on the left of the 'forum' page



here..<-----

Our dollar is still over .80 cents so exchange is great...

Email Enzo or Paula there to check mail cost.

If not in a hurry to get them to send it 'surface mail' which is usually one week internal USA and then about 3 - 4 weeks to get here.

Default Decision is made

Thanks again

I've gone Septic with the selection of gas cap.

Spending some money with Don Pilling as well on other gear.

I've just spent about 20k on all kinds of cool stuff. When it all arrives I'll take some photos.
Crank, Rods, pistons, heads, intake, distributor, clutch, bell, flywheel, rockers, gauges, wiring harness, gearbox.......blah blah.

3.5 months off on long service leave soon and no excuses. Yeehaw.

What type gauges and what wiring harness (ie for the gauges only or complete car loom). I ask this as I am right now planning what to do in these areas. Wether buy locally or import.
Thanks
Bruce

The Aussie agents are here : http://www.painlessperformance.com/I...ernational.php

Default Gauges and Harness

I bought an EZ2 Wire kit, much the same as painless, but heavier gauge, and all black with labelled wire, some of the colour get hard to pick a couple of years down the track. The wiring kit of US Ebay, on special, with freight is about $150 cheaper than one in Australia......thats the final cost.

Gauges are Autometer Cobalt series. I'm going for a blue car......blue gauge lighting at night. The autometers are real cheap over there, but I bought a heap of stuff from Summitt at once, overall it keeps the freight cost down.

What I have learned...............ASK THE SELLER TO MARK EVERYTHING AS "RACE CAR PARTS". This immediately drops your import duty from 10% on regular car parts, to only 5% for "race car parts". PLUS FU%^$@# GST

All said and done I've saved about $4,500-00 buying the gear overseas.
