GB FS : TWM shortshifter and Knob Group Buy - Closes 15/5/05

read here http://www.astinagt.com/forums/showt...2476#post62476

shifters
Price : $167 AUD + shipping (approx)

Knobs :
Price $109-$128 AUD + shipping (approx)



*UPDATE*

THE DETAILS

will fit BG - BJ models

all are interchangable ... i know this because i have a BJ Shifter in my BG

i will try to get a price for you as soon as possible. The price will be plus postage. if everyoone pays me the money i will transfer straight from my paypal account and the items will be posted straight to my place (cheaper). i will then break everything up and post it off either straight to your door or can post them in groups to someone in your city and you can pick up from there and organise your own group fitting days etc.

this is a good chance for us to get high qaulity items at a cheaper than usual price, and possibly poersonalised for the club too

and please note ... if we get hit by customs on the way in (possible but not likely!) i will be spliting the bill amongst the group buyers (including me)

getting back to basics, what is on offer here is a shortshifter and wieghted knob.

THE SHIFTER

The shortshifter, as the name suggests reduces the throw required to change gear, hence reducing the time it takes to change, reducing your overall times.

THE KNOB

The weighted knob has been developed to help with the shifting of gears. the shifter will still work fine without the knob, the knob simply aids the transfer from one gear to another ... at this stage we may also be able to get a small logo (club or otherwise) engraved on to the top

THE BUSHINGS

kartboy bushing ... dont need em ... deleted

there has already been successful group buys in the past with these shifters with no problems (cept from gav who is now known as the whinging pom )

if anyone has any questions or wnats to correct / add to what i have said now is the time or may you forever hold your piece.

I'd definately be interested for both the shifter and the knob! The TWM guy said we would be able to get kartboy bushings sent out with them aswell to save on shipping, would anyone else be interested in that?

in for the shifter for sure.

Possibly the knob if a good combo price can be arranged.

They did have the knobs and shifters togehter on special and before that just the shifters alone cheaper...also the kartboy bushings that people used to buy for the TWM short shifters aren't needed anymore as they are a different design with ball bearings instead. The kartboy bushings that chicaboo used were at the other end of the linkage and are NOT the same as most people who bought the previous type of TWM s/shifter.

Whoops also forgot to say that once you order more than one short shifter (as in whats going on here) you will run the risk of paying tax...one shifter is less than what customs will bother with in price. The custom engraving sounds good but it would be better to get a blank one..and get it engraved yourself.

For shipping it depends on the service used and what value is on the package, ... by Canada post sending "commercial samples" will not invoke any customs,..just a note

Hey Marc, please wrap their packes in some packaging paper or use more packaging tape so they don't lose any contents from the goods. Better still, the washers and bolts should probably be put in a plastic zip bag just to be safe...

Commercial samples No longer works in Australia....even gift is now treated as if you bought it. And when they do investigate what is in it, they overprice it and it takes weeks to get it out of customs. My friend bought a camera it was declared as "commercial sample" and it took a month to get out and they charged him more GST than if it was just declared correctly. My advice is work out whether a group buy with the GST/customs slug is more than just buying them individually. If a lot is saved on postage and the extra tax doesn't make it cost more, than go for it. And I think it will be the postage that will make or break it.
