anyone got space on a container leaving US and heading to Perth soonish?  looking at options to get a fresh diff centre from the states without getting raped with shipping.  

Other options?  I've been quoted $400 for USPS to ship

Cheers

I'm going a whole centre, still deciding on whether to go 3.5 or 3.8 gearing.  Just get it and bolt it in :thumb:

Ok, so far $200 and 6-8 weeks is the best option in terms of price.  weight seems to be the issue with UPS

Whats the weight of an 8" centre?

If I can get the package <20kg, then its post and half price.

Otherwise, its a long wait or rapeage with the cost.

This is making a 9" an attractive exercise.
