Hi guys.

As the title says, I need a favor from someone.
I need to order wrist pin clips (spiral locks) for my pistons and I can only find them in places that will ship only to USA or ask some crazy amounts for shipping.

So, what I'd like to ask is, if I could place an order with summit racing for those clips and send them to any forum member address who is willing to send that package to me after he receives it. USPS should be the best option.
Of course I would cover shipping expenses (Paypal if possible) and any aditional handling charges that you'll ask, as long as it's normal amount.

This is what I need:
Spiral clips

Of course, if anybody knows where to get those clips locally and can buy them and send them to me, that would also be great. Either way, I just need those parts and I don't want to pay $100 for shipping.

I understand that all of you have jobs and are busy, so I'll understand if you don't have the time to hassle.

Thank you!

Damn... and I was gonna charge 200.00 shipping.

If no one else chimes in, I will be happy to do it.

The only thing... I am in California, I suspect it would be cheaper from an east coast resident. But it won't be that much different.

Summit has a distribution from Reno, NV, so that means cheap shipping here.

Spriral Clips are nothing, really, I mean, I can't beleive they weigh more than 5 or 6 oz.... $100 to ship?

I will repackage and ship as "used car parts."

Thank you very much, I really appreciate it.
Please send me your full shipping infos on PM and I,ll have the clips sent to you.

A few bucks really don't matter, but as you said, $100 for such small package I won't pay out of principle!

Thanks again, I knew that I can count on you folks!

EDIT: I was just contacted by competition products and they are willing to ship spirolocks directly to me for $12. I'll go ahead with that because it's really fair price and I won't hassle you. If something goes wrong, I'll contact you again! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

I would think a racing supplier over in England would be a lot cheaper.

Thanks Brian, I was just writing EDIT in my previous post while you posted.

If something goes wrong, I'll check with them. Thanks for the links.

That's my club! Let me know if I can help, Sliding.

I can help you out and I'm in Virginia. I do this for a friend of mine in Germany all the time...(Have a box of Energy Suspension parts for his RX7 waiting now to be shipped).

He has me provide a receipt indicating the parts prices, etc that I put into the box. I'm also used to dealing with the new customs forms so it shouldn't be a surprise.

I suggest that if you want to go down this path that you purchase the parts and have them sent to my address. In the alternative, you'd have to Paypal me the funds and I can purchase it sending to my place. Your call of course.
