Considering these 2 facts, I hope, you will change your mind about not shipping parts to USA. ;D
I contacted a few part sellers(Ebay and German parts), but they don't want to ship parts to USA. I guess USA/UK war 1812-1815 is the reason. :)

I wish we were a US state rather than in the EU. But thats a different story.

Not sure if you've posted already but do you have some pics of your caddy mate?? Would love to see them.  :y

I know our postage rates are not as good as USPS, maybe that has an impact? US customs are known to be over zealous as well.

To get an idea of UK to US postage rates, see www.royalmail.com

No, no way...............................it goes back to the Boston Tea Party and the reluctance to pay the English their fair taxes! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)

God save George III! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)

yes that's right. My experience is that only 10% of US suppliers will export to the UK.

You can send the parts to me and I'll export them to you if you like.
