3ge, how can you use this quote under your name when you have listed the price of 4 sets of bushers and pins and you are the most expensive? Isnt it contradicting your slogan? Im not trying to cause an argument but think they are expensive.
Hi Deg,

You're right, not the best of quotes to have for that post

Andy's right, the expensive part is the crush tube, stainless steel is expensive & so is CNC'ing, which is why our bush kits are fairly close on price.

That slogans been there for ages, for reference our prices have remained fixed for nearly 2 years. When the cost of materials started to rise, we kept our prices the same and didn't pass the cost on to the customer, in fact the only time we changed our prices was at the start of the year when we found a cheaper steel supplier for the tube and reduced our prices.

It's also worth remebering to compare like with like, for examle, our chassis's are £770, more expensive than others but they include all the tubes and all the chassis plates, and have a few extra tubes to add rigidity to the chassis, mounts for a Polo radiator and a pedal box welded in place.

We also include postage in our calculations, unless you are very fortunate to live within travelling distance of any of the suppliers this is something you'll have to pay. Back in December we started free postage for all orders, this was something we were able to keep going for 5 months, until the couriers started to increase prices as fuel costs esculated. Even now, the most you will pay is £10 if you are in main land UK, the only exception to this is a complete chassis (as we can't find any courier who's will to deliver one for £10)


Anyway, enough of my waffling....

Kind regards

John
