Cheers Slaw,I think i'll go with one of the British shops as Trebor and Super said because I get hammered on import tax and parcel Farce oops,I meant Force's handling charges.
I had a look at that site Super but couldn't see them.I'll have to get them anyway as when i installed the new head and piston on my MT it stripped the squares,so I put my spares on and it stripped them too! Still have to do the heads on the other two yet just hav'nt had the time.
Might just get the longer ones to try out the touring car wheels that I have(just needs a couple of millimetres clearance to stop them fouling the rose joints)
Cheers dudes.

I've had both my rear squares strip out. I just drilled them larger, taped them and used a bigger grub.

Well, DDM charged me $40 for the postage which I'm not complaining about for the two heads and a load of bits,the Gordon Brown charged me £14.00 for the pleasure of bringing these wonderful items onto our over priced country,then to top it all 'Parcel Force' (or should it be FARCE!) charged me another £13.50 handleing fees????:nono:for what reason I don't know as i had to drive five fookin' miles to pick the things up!
My other head came through the standard post and I never had to pay nothing! apart from Daves modest fee ($7)
Why the hell do we get ripped off in this country? Probably the governments greed!
Anyway, I bet that sax sounded good when you put it together
