Cheers,

Parts are already on the way, due in a day or two. Thanks for the info, will keep them for future ref!

Happy to help, hope it works out for you.

Cheers,

All sounds a familiar story...
Took THREE MONTHS waiting for parts to be manufactured then sent from USA for Girt’s 2003 Chevy chassis.
Fortunately we have a friend working in USA who ordered, bought & shipped them to Oz.
So it’s not just Froggy engineering that’s the problem.

I bought a small accessory from a US car dealership Parts department because the particular item is not sold here. The dealership is not permitted to ship to outside USA, however, I provided a post box address in the US provided to me by Australia Post and, for a small fee, the parcel was delivered here at Glenelg in quick time.

So Aust Post have a US mailing address, how did you stumble onto that? I got caught up in the "Ship-it-to" thing, lost about $1500 and never received a thing, swore I'd never buy anything from the US unless they shipped direct and at a price that was sensible. Amazon is my guide for reasonable shipping costs, not there hanger on sellers but direct from Amazon warehouse stuff.

360.00 for six inches of fuel line.
Thanks cummins......

Was it a steel one Martin?

A few of us have been buying Cummins parts from this mob, very knowledgeable and helpful and if he doesn't know the answer will follow up quicksmart. https://www.partsdeal.com.au/
He will even email you parts diagrams if you ask to make sure that you are talking about the same bit.
Terry Auspost has had a US mail address for several years, I've only used it for small stuff so far though.
They also have some sort of deal in china as a lot of stuff I've bought from there has turned up within a week or so and only has Aust Post labels.
