have you tried british off road in nambour, they'll deliver aust. wide for bugger all. cost me $16 to have a set of rotors and a water pump sent to brisbane. these were next day delivery. they also seem to have a lot of modified gear from landys they wreck. britishoffroad.com.au

roccia made ones that look a little similar to the ones above, but they went bust earlier in the year. i think rovacraft (perth) sell the paddocks ones, tries them? don't know if it would be cheaper importing yourself though?

havent tried Rovrcraft, i have spoken to them in the past re some LR stuff and their prices were through the roof.....and attitude seemed a bit snobish.

there is a group buy going on over at aulro. hope it doesnt drag out like the MD gear sets here

Serg

It may have dragged out but mate you are looking at a $14000.00 group buy.
Plus it was the only group buy that was a success on outers EVER.

i wasnt having a go mate just stating a fact....being that this is an overseas purchase they will have to act fast while the dollar to pound is ok....

the more time goes by, peoples finaces and commitments change, thats why i advised a cut off date. other wise it could go on for ever.

cheers,
Serg

Checked it out and £60 seems a fair deal. Was going to offer to send them seperately as it seemed too much. It must be the volume of the parcel. Would hardly be any more to send 10 sets though. Needs a group buy to flatdog? Maybe outerlimits needs a webshop like difflock in the uk?

Hi,

I think he have Discovery and Defender flares from Flexi in stock.
