[QUOTE="Albervin, post: 110723, member: 586"] I think this comes down to giving a bit of thought to what you are buying. In Australia the cheapest option is to buy some of Neals's shoes (NOTE spelling Bob) then have them lined with whatever your choice of material by ABC (Australian Brake and Clutch). I think Martyn was a bit over eager with his maths but even so; these are a light weight so freight is not massive. ABC charge $50 to bond a pair of m/cycle brake shoes but you do need to specify the material. I do not know what VB3000 linings are but I assume Neal and his team have done their homework and they are suitable for our steeds. I had a long conversation with Ian Savage about the VOCS selling items made outside of the EU and I now understand how complex that is. If the VOCS bought an item from (say) Australia, they would have to pay VAT on import. If they sold that item within the EU then the VAT is paid on the sale price. If it is sold to the USA or Scandinavia the VAT is removed and a credit is claimed from HMRC. That is a lot of paperwork. Bottom line is we are very fortunate here in Australia to have an enthusiast like Neal. [/QUOTE]
