Decently priced?

I wonder if I could get some opinions on these items and whether they're well priced?

First, a full set of bushes and crush tubes;

HAYNES ROADSTER LOCOST EYELET BUSHES X 22 - STAINLESS INSERTS AS PER BOOK | eBay

Works out to be about £2.50 a piece? Although I might go rose joints instead.

Next, suspension brackets;

34mm Haynes Roadster Locost shock absorber brackets | eBay

Obviously expensive compared to metal plate cut and drilled, but for a pre-made piece it seems ok?

Last item is a pack of hacksaw blades;

BAHCO SANDFLEX 24TPI 12"' BI-METAL HACKSAW BLADES x 10 PACK OF 10 METAL CUTTING | eBay

I'm currently using a Bahco blade and it's a world of difference to the blades I've used before, but is £11 for a 10 pack good?

They are the shock brackets... you only need 4 as they are narrower than the suspension brackets on the haynes

Suspension bushes, you've answered your own question
Cheap enough
Brackets it's the postage that bothers me, you could ask for a bulk postage price as that's what costs the most per item

Bulk p&p is £2.50 for first, £1.50ea for the rest, best to look at them as £3 a piece and £1 postage - I suspect he's done that way to minimise ebays cut.

Wishbone brackets are here eBay Item at £3.50 and no p&p using the above thinking.

The brackets are from Dave near donny. He did all mine. He will post stuff together cheaper if you need a lot.

They are very well priced.

He also can make any size. Like for my tiger etc.....

He also has Cnc cut parts like the wishbone bits..

Posted me 10 for about £12

Yes, sorry should have said the listing does quote that he can do all sizes as jossey mentioned. I'd be looking to get all the various sizes required in one order to keep the postage down. He also mentions on the listing that he'd combine postage so I'd get a proper quote instead of relying on Ebay's messed up postal system.

Thanks for the information on Dave jossey, it's appreciated.
