Whats the sorta cash I can expect to pay for taking a chopper 22p down to a 21? Also (may be a silly qusetion to most of you) whats the difference between a standard chopper and a et chopper?
Thanks

I think i paid around £100 including postage to get one repitched and balenced.

Cheers Roofer, but whats the difference between a standard chopper and a lightening et?

roofer · 30-10-2005, 10:55 PM

I think an et starts out as a 24 chopper and then the blades are given the et cut, burty will know he's got one.
Found the bill for repitching and balencing it was £68 plus vat plus postage

I believe an ET Lightning is an actual prop not a variation or cut of a chopper. However its possible to make an ET Lightning copy from a specific chopper. The chopper in question is I think a 24x14.5".

JBD is indeed correct, an ET copy can only be made from a 24" x 14.5" dia chopper
rop revs just charged me £50 + vat to work my prop so id try them.
I'd also try the chopper as it is first dude as it may have already been worked

Looks like it may be a non starter mate. Bloke just emailed me to say I owe him another $160 in shipping as HE worked out the carriage cost wrong. If he cant meet me at least halfway I`ll try and get me money back. Afterall I did ask him fist what the carriage would be so its his fault! Bloody Americans!

dont forget you still got to pay import duty and vat on cost inc. shipping

Matt · 31-10-2005, 06:35 PM

160 bucks! Try sending it by USPS surface mail. I got a lifter in for 70 bucks that way.

Dan · 31-10-2005, 06:58 PM

All sorted know. Am I right in thinking that if the sender puts that its a gift and no more than $35 in value I may be able to get away with the inport duty & VAT???

Burty · 31-10-2005, 07:14 PM

indeed that is correct

I have bought a few things from ebay in the USA and have been lucky enough to never get taxed on its way in!
