I have just completed a review of all the suppliers of this type of kit I can find, covering it seems the UK, Italy and Germany (Ritz Handels do one, as well as Axel Gerstl) and I was surprised to find no fewer than TEN different suppliers!
Of all of these, Piotross' price is the most competitive, so I would like to place an order. HOWEVER... does anyone have experience of importing this type of kit into the UK ? I have imported before from the US and Canada, and a Fiat fuel tank from Germany, and it's been OK, no hassle. But the last time I did it was about 12 years go, and times change. Last year my daughter imported a shower curtain (... don't ask!! some unique designer thing, apparently, but it looked to me as a mere male like any other shower curtain) and UK customs stopped it, and slapped on some crazy import tax that literally raised the cost by about EIGHTY PER CENT
So whilst I would love to buy Piotross' brakes kit, I really don't want to pay an 80% premium for the privilege. So can anyone reassure me that I won't get stung ?
The scam of the whole thing is that once Customs impound it, you are stuffed - you either pay up the duty to get the item, or they return it to sender and YOU get charged with that return shipping charge. So either way they screw you.
Thanks.
