Nah ment Greg Seen from his avatar he is in Ireland and wondered what the postage would have been from uk.
£12 sounds very light for a pair of uprights/hubs discs and callipers as they are very heavy.
Browser Sierras are already getting thin,The price of steel means a lot are getting melted down.Wont be long before the design is made to work with a
Mondeo donor.....

You should really try and get in touch with some of the stockcar racing guys over there. They're fanatical in Ireland about any kind of
motorsport just start talking about the cars and slip in that your're looking for a set and I'll bet someone knows someone etc. And the
price will be much better to I'll bet.

Postage wouldn't be an issue cos at this stage I'd sell me mother-in-law just to get a pair. Better yet, I'd sell the wife and that
would be a real result! I'd guess about £20-£25. I'd get them sent to Northern Ireland cos it's cheaper and I'm only 13 miles
form the border here in Donegal.

I paid £40 for my pair from a local banger racer.
Get down your local track and ask around next time theres a race on!

Guys, I am really open to anything at this stage. this is holding up my whole build as I don't want to start without the main parts. Postage or
carriage should not be a problem........

It's the whole thing between the wishbones and the rim. I'm not sure if this is an upright or a hub. Do you think you have a pair?

Nah sorry , was just trying to clarify it for you, It is indeed the complete uprights you need, the hubs should come with them if straight from the
donor vehicle,
I'l just be selling the Ally hubs on there own (soon I hope)
