But there's definitely nothing stopping *you* from contacting
our Oz distributors directly and telling them about their pricing.
Just look up our local rags Racing Lines and Dirt & Track.
They've both got the big ads from all the distributors complete
with phone & fax contact details... what else would you use
those for??

That's $47 per pack! - no way can any LHS compare with that.

And to top it all off - John said he'd throw in free shipping - even though it said on the website that that only applied to US Continental orders.
Mind you - it was cheap shipping - I expect as they were sent via USPS Flate Rate Envelope that it'll take more than a couple of weeks to arrive, but I'm in no rush.
With the margin's that LHS's and local distributors add - there's no incentive to buy locally - and until I don't see that changing as all the parts come from the US anyway usually.

Shoo goo can be replaced by super glue. i use it and none of my batteries (ones that have been super glued) have ever fallen apart.
Dont forget 12 gauge wire if you want to make saddle packs.
hA oh no my deans jig broke
now it needs elastic bands to hold together....lol
