You just gotta love customs sometimes. I got my Hooker sidepipe headers over here duty free, but they charged me tax on the bolts and gaskets!;eek

A bloody lot less than paying full freight on the headers I can tell you. There is a trick to it tho that I will impart to anyone who wants to import parts.

Garry...Is this a seperate event from their Cobra nationals in October?
Btw, I have a very good contact in the Cobra Club.....well he actually owns the business that builds the damn things here in the Shire. You should see the latest one sitting in his workshop. The body is painted in that PPG colour changing paint, but the big thing is that the stripes are done in a different colour too although still in the same type of paint. Definitely different.;eek

Brutus, that's PPG's Harlequin. Basically any color with a pearl base and usually looks best with a high contrast color underneath the main color.
