G'Day All,

With the oncoming release of Act Labs "new" clutch/pedal set & a GPL
Shifter.......I mailed them as to the pricing........so here's the deal in
Aussie Dollars for anyone here thinking about getting one.

$365.10 for the Force RS and Shifter.
$115.30 for the "new" Clutch Pedal System.
$11.50 for the 4 Speed Plate.
$11.50 for the 5 Speed Plate.

Approx.......$345.90 to ship UPS to Australia.

Total cost in AUD = $849.30 this does NOT include Stamp Duty, GST or Import
Duty If applicable.

I also asked about an Aussie distributor.......none here yet , they are
working on getting one.......but could be up to 1 year away.
Just thought some of you would be interested :))

Cheers, David.
TopLoader.
Melbourne, Australia.

I have pre-ordered a GPL USB shifter (i like the LWFF better) which
costs 69.99 US + 54 US shipping. Around 250 AU. I will also be getting
the universal pedals, and that might cost even more in shipping
(bigger etc).

They should have another method of delivery (like sea), because I can
wait a few weeks, rather than getting it 4 days after it has been
made.

I agree entirely, its crazy that so may suppliers only allow you to use the
most expensive shipping method to Oz and NZ - not many people are going to
pay more for the shipping than the price of the item(s) itself. Why not air
parcel post - Amazon.com uses theses more viable methods.
