bit more on the shifters - i've just requested them to be sent in two separate boxes. it'll cost us very slightly more, but looks to be the best way to avoid duties and gst. their site says we dont pay duties and gst on purchases less than $1000, but that doesnt apply to good forming part of a bulk order....fingers crossed!

ok - new news.
heard back from the supplier for the shifters...still waiting on the remainder to come from TWM. they said it should be any day now.
now second bit of news. they can definately send the shifters in two lots. no worries at all, but the down side of that is they only visit usps 2-3 times per month, so it might be 2-3 weeks between the first and second shipment. what do you guys reckon? go this way and we almost definately avoid import duties? what about who gets the shifters from the first shipment and who has to wait?
i was thinking for sh!ts and giggles at the newy meet we could play a stupid game and the winners get the first shipment, and the big L's can get the 2nd lot...waddia think?
you know i'd be happy if it were the fastest cars get the goodies first
LOL

haha, i did the shifter bushings already!!! i did need a 14mm spanner, and also a convincer, to knock the ring spanner around.... worked easily... of course if yours is stuck, you could also try WD40
did it this morning, and then went to work, coz i forgot to do my timeslip... was thrown a package, so i did that tonight, and finished (including working out new rattle-must tighten all bolts) started at 5, finished at 11, with 4.5 hours work....

oh yeah on topic and stuff....
love the bushings, makes gearing much more confident, and pescise... harder to miss gates too!!
after i got under the car, and realised that bar was fixed to the gearbox (ie doesn't move?) i didn't think it could do anything...ad to be honest i don't know how it does!!! but it does, so i no complain, hoorah for jumping on this one.... luckily i have a trolley jack to cope with this now, otherwise i'd need to lose weight!!! (lets face it i'm already a long white streak of pelican s***)
btw are we able to make furthere savings, by sending out a couple of shifters together, eg if anyone is near anyone?? i'm on NSW central coast...... work hornsby... does that work??
