Also there are two types of resevoirs up to 57 1/2 and from 57 1/2 just to make things difficult.

CIP1 charge too much for freight.... way too much...
last order I had from them was $67US parts + $87US freight...

check out other suppliers in the USA...

there are some good ones over there...

last items I bought were from aircooled.net...

$257US parts + $41.71US freight international express air mail

excellent parts too...

thanks heaps guys, managed to source one from classic veedub.

Heres the thing, you dont buy $67 worth of parts from the US, you buy $670 worth of parts, if you buy anything under around $200 its not worth it with the freight and your better off sourcing it locally, Sometimes things will work out cheaper when you buy more stuff and thats when you save on shipping. Its already about $50 start charge on shipping from CIP.

that's what I'm saying....

CIP1 charge too much for freight....

and when You order stuff locally and receive Brasillian made bits.

I'd rather look elsewhere... lol

where I am advised that the parts came from Germany etc....

Agreed on CIP1 ripping you off for freight. Machine7 does the same in the UK and CSP in Germany. VWHeritage in the UK are very reasonable with their freight. I saved over $100 in parts and that was with the postage included 😉
