It may still not be available, and may be an old defunct site. I looked elsewhere but have not been able to find anything more. So please dont build your hopes up on this. THIS example is a very similar site, also in Australia but not listed - the same also with Russian and Polish sites).

When looking for parts, a tip would be to initially google the part number - Chrome makes this easy, as it allows you to select text, and 'search google' when you right click on the highlighted text (it saves having to copy and paste into Google).

Funnily enough I was 'shopping' in New Zealand last night. My father, like me a chocoholic, mentioned earlier in the year he used to love Cadbury's Dipped Flakes. These are no longer available in the UK, however, they are in AUS and NZ, called Flake Luxury. But shipping was ridiculous, £20 up to 1kg. I started adding other 'unusual things' to my basket to justify and before long I was near to £100 for 20 bars of chocolate????!!!!! But I didnt give up, which is the second point of this story. Reading in the 'who are we' of the site, there was a link to bulk orders. I ordered a box, which was less than the 20 I had started to order, and add the shipping, it worked out just over half the price. It is still £52 for 24 bars of 80p chocolates!!! Still, he will appreciate both the effort and the thought that I remembered.

When looking for a part, or anything that you find difficult or expensive, dont give up, think outside the box, and remember, the world is a small place now.
sorry CLF I have to disagree, I think a thanks is required and if not required, deserved
