is there any issue with using "Pattern part" piston sets or should i stick with OEM?
A set if pistons and seals for a front caliper is 70-80 on ebay, but not sure what OEM is, looking at fowlers...

will post the totals etc soon - just realised i need to ammend the order, added 4 too many packs of seals
But we are talking about 300$ total for 8 pistons and 4 seals then 70$ shipping so UK pounds we say 200£ UK, then about 40£ fees at worst SO should work out at less than 1/2 price of most UK sellers for the whole lot... Will update with my recipt once i sorted this issue out

[/quote] I searched last night darrsi and past it on to anutz, think it's only $61 pr Here's a link to that part, but as anutz said even with import tax and deliver etc still far cheaper than UK Might be worth a look for other bits and pieces if anyone needs anything  http://www.partzilla.com/parts/detail/ya...00-00.html

yep and my order hit 398$ delivered, so even with 23% import/duty, we are only looking at under 310/20 where as in the UK you are talking 440+ for the same kit....so significant saving...

Yeah that's about right anutz, I actually thought the tax was added already giving you $400 but even then it's a good saving :-)
