Hi Ross,
If the OP doesn't want it, I'll happily take it off your hands. Just PM me if that's possible please

Gosh I'd love to, but two things preclude that. First is that you're in Dundee and I'm in West London (!) Second is that the RH upper arm cashed its chips rather spectacularly the other day, so the car's in the air with the suspension off right now.

Mine 75 one is boxed and ready to ship if you need it.

Personally I would stick with like for like, the softer bushes for the 75 and the solid ones on the ZT.

Once you have the correct one, you can use the box to send the other one up to me if you wanted.

Offer is there.

I've fitted a ZT one with solid bushes to a 75 tourer today, and began refurbishing the old one which came off.

It would be interesting to know if the 75 bushes are available, or at least something that fits.

Question Group buy anyone? (REAR SUBFRAME)

If anyone is interested in forming a buying group, the FIACOM price for 5 units KHB000130 is 175 USD each plus shipping - that's around 133.75 GBP plus shipping.

Shipping to UK is 80 USD each - around 61.01 GBP.

So that works out at £194.56 each inc shipping.

Anyone interested? (This is today's price).

I don't know if there would be any customs charges to get them in to the UK. Some people seem to have been charged duty etc and some don't.



NB. I used this to get the dollar to pound conversion.

I'll swap a brand new 75 one for a brand new ZT one if anyone is up for it.

You'll pay VAT and Duty on the way in, in most cases - Customs really are clamping down on this now

Just a fair warning for anyone buying one - factor this into the cost.

As usual, HM Government makes the calculations as difficult as possible and they don't list subframes in the parts classifications. What a surprise.

Total shocker! It's a pain in the backside, I used to be able to bring samples and other bits and pieces in without the faff - but the other day a single ignition coil in a tiny box was held for days. Nightmare!
