Gav836 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 They sound good Nick, one small thing though, how much would they weigh with regards to posting them to people over here as that may limit your market somewhat if its too costly, well initial price too for that matter \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Its still a problem though Blake as postage prices to that part of the world from here are sometimes as much as the goods are worth, probably the same in reverse as well, so the UK stockist would have to put the price up to compensate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 they can be bought already as tris said, henri walker does them in white metal, and loads of german sites do as well, even resin ones on pma, if he answers his e-mails that is, they are very jd looking in shape, come complete with the tractor frame to, for 30 odd euros, set of 10 from memory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
