Thanks David, they do a nice job.......Some might say they are a bit expensive, but i'd rather pay a little extra and get a top job, than the alternative. Cheers.......Greg.
A friend has just sent me a picture of his vintagesteel made steel guards for his series A Meteor they look really good, has he says bugger the expense give the cat another gold fish.
Yes I agree..I got a rear guard for my 1932 Sunbeam from a well known supplier,It's bl**dy awful. The hinge is so sloppy even with the stand clipped up it rattles..If I could get my guards to Aus cheaply/safely I would get them to make a set. Maybe I'll take them the next time I go to Perth, they are just down the road..John

Followed by 10 days in the AU customs as they search for asbestos or a spec of dirt (eg: find something extra to charge the buyer with)
If you fill all form correctly no problems sames as UK, never been stopped in at least 50 visits, now try LA two hours later you may get through ! earlier this year I had a set of Brampton's in my suitcase London via Qatar we stayed a few days into Adelaide no problems. we never buy duty free this seems to course people a few problems
Funny Custom stories, JS came to the Adelaide F1 event some year back, he bought a ex Eric Oliver garden gate sidecar outfit we stipped it out I wrapped the frame in glad wrap and carried to UK as luggage declared put on a torrey and pushed through customs one of the officers called out what you got there mate a rocking horse, no duty was paid,.
