We can DHL them to Sydney for example for an additional $200 NZD or so.
I havn't looked at any other shipping method as yet, but surface may be cheaper.

Please note these are machined from a solid block of tool steel (P20), not cast, or bent or machined by some uninterested Chinese poorly paid worker, they are tough as f@#k steel, the kingpin spigot is pressed in then capscrewed. The arms are in the process of being certified for use on public roads in NZ.

Order up
:lol: :lol:

product looks tops, but $550 plus $200 for shipping will prolly be a little picy for most, I would try and get someone over here to take them on and sea freight a few of them over, they should cut the cost quite a bit

Congrats they are a nice set of arms, it is great to see someone at last going to the effort of counterboring/spigoting the kingpin in place, 99% of the $hit arms we get here in oz are all just bolted onto the flat and this is the most common point of failure and problems associated with bent or snapped studs.!!!!!

The other problem with them is the tapper hole for the cones is to deep and the washers that go top of the cones tighten up on the arms and not the cones as the cones are shallower then the tapper. Does that make sense :?
