Sure, I understood that, but that was not what we are trying to do with this for these reasons:
We are in daily contact with Alpinesport in South Africa and I can tell you the cost of the SC is the reason the Alpine kits are no longer available!
Consider, for us to source a SC from California, ship it to us in AU, send it back to you in NY with the kit, adding shipping both ways, import duties and taxes that will be levied in BOTH countries would easily double the cost.
We plan to supply every specialised part (snout support, idler pulley, crank pulley etc) you need in a kit from here, and a comprehensive list of the SIMPLE hardware (fasteners & hose clamps etc) required, as well as the EXACT spec of the SC which you can then get from Magnusson at their '48 states' pricing
So you order a kit from us, and the SC from Cali, and the fasteners from a local supplier - 3 phone calls instead of one, and you save hundreds if not thousands of $:bgwp:
I understand this would not appeal to everyone, and a full turn-key kit may follow later, but I know after the Aus and US govts have finished with us the kit will be expensive - even leaving it a no margin sideline - in the order of $6K or more.
Dunno about you, but if I wanted to spend THAT kind of $ I would go buy the (compromised) off-the shelf kit from CAPA here - $8000 thank you!
