Wossner Piston Group Purchase #3

[Rik]

Hi I'm late on this as I've only just seen the post. If there are any that pull out or any spares I'd buy a pair of pistons and rings or top end kit etc. Cheers

Just email me, there are extras

Hi all,

The pistons have arrived safe and sound in Sunny Worthing, UK.

I need to check the numbers with Jim and am just waiting for a reply but it looks like the total postage & duty costs will be as follows:

For those who ordered 2 kits and 4 extra rings £88.64
For those who ordered 2 kits £85.36

Postage onwards from here will be Royal Mail special Delivery which insures up to £500 so is more than enough. The price for that is around £12 iirc but will confirm when I have everyones addresses.

Please drop me a pm on here with your full address and name and I will reply with the payment details once I have confirmed the numbers with Jim.

By my calculations the all up cost per piston kit (piston and 2 rings) was around £140 each and around £20 per ring (To us limeys).

Considering that includes postage with insurance, import duties VAT I think that's pretty damn good, especially when we look back at page 1 of this thread and see that ybk found stock pistons selling for £180 alone, not accounting for shipping, taxes duty etc!

A huge thanks to Jim for all his efforts and condolences for your recent loss.

If anyone has contact details for R-G-V or TZRTim please ask them to check their messages on here as I need them to make payment for the pistons and send their postal address through.

By my list all forum members should have been shipped or received their piston kits with the exception of JJ (Charles) who's box should be shipped today or tomorrow.

Thanks all for helping make this happen.    I have a few kits left overs to sell, besides a couple of sets that I'll be keeping for myself.

A local buyer, TDR racing, backed out on his ten which worked out okay, as there are always a few folks late to the party wanting them.  I may see what a set brings on eBay

Glad most have received theirs and are happy with them.  Thanks to Steve for the addition of the piston pin oiling hole.  I have an updated set now 

[Steveog]

Appreciate your kind words, Jim.

I did get approval to add those holes from Wossner USA in California. I spoke with an engineer, but their customer service has been outstanding, overall.

Hope everyone appreciates your grand effort to use your contacts to get these great pistons at such a reasonable price. Also, I hope our friends in the UK and Europe make it through their incredible heat wave. Those of us in Florida, Texas and Southern Indiana (USA) are somewhat used to "HOT" (and Humid) summers. Many of those guys don't have air conditioning. Damn.
