thanks mackaymanx, have you dealt with them??

Not personally but lots on the forum have, frieght is a big killer. Do a search if you want more info they have been discussed before.

ask for the 2 sections of brake flex hose as well its special stuff usually green outer braiding
then it wont leak or deterioate in 5 minutes

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

Im doing an order in the next few weeks if you would like something, then just express bag from sydney about $12

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.

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

I have these (used) and NOS caps in stock.
