seems like a good deal ? also the site has a lot of installation type PDF's including for the 'bright 6' which could be useful to some

I have seen those, as Lowtension has been mentioned on here before i think.

It looks a good deal as you get all the senders and the clocks for £299.

I also found that Lowtension have an Ebay shop If you search for a shop called 'LOWTENSION LIMITED 01827 250004 Tel' it will take you there.

It's still much more expensive than here:

You only need to add the tacho ($60), and you and with a 5 dial set, for $340. So that's about 190 pounds?!?

Plus customs charge.. and postage... Also a hell of a lot easier to deal with a UK company if you have any problems... Just my opinion of course.

One of my housemates ordered £200 worth of stuff from america and ended up with a £58 customs charge! (Not sure how they work them out).

I think you'll find that (apart from the shipping costs) that is not for a calibratble digital speedo and doesn't include all the senders either)

tried to work out an equivalent price but couldn't find the same speedo on that site

Customs charge is incredibly complex, they have an enormous list of different classifications and the guy 'interprets' them for your item - there is no real way for anyone outside the system to work out the costs beforehand!
