Hey Rollaclub
This is my first post here so I guess it'd be good form to introduce myself
My name is Odin, I live in the Netherlands (or Holland, whichever) and I've
owned a '76 KE35 for little over a year now, it's my baby, my pride and beauty
Living in the Netherlands does pose some problems parts wise, brake pads,
clutch parts are usually not that difficult to find, but the rarer, the more expensive
some parts get, I've got the non RS version, so just the 3K-H and K40 gearbox,
and pretty much since I've had it, I've been looking for a K50.
Recently I was quoted 900 euro for one (1390 AUD), and of course, looking at the
for sale ads here makes me sick with jealousy. 4K's with extractors and K50's
for prices that would maybe get you a 3K here (if you can even find one)
Another ad posted 3 K50's for 300 AUD, that 3 times more gearboxes, for 1/9th
the price it would cost here!
So what does one do ? well I'm currently trying to figure out if shipping one to the
EU could be profitable, I live 40 miles from the largest harbor of this continent,
but so far I've had little luck locating someone who ships to the EU.
So Rollaclub members, do you know of a company (or person) experienced in
shipping intercontinentally, and how would I go about organising such an endeavor
Ofcourse I'd pay the person handling business extra, for the extra hassle, and as
a thank you, because everything is cheaper than buying it here.
