They arrived last week, they look very good, and fit well! The last time I have to worry about those!

Good to here , how long did it take to get to you .

As i have ordered some today .

Thanks .

The Fox units fit well. You can crank on the wheel nut and no binding. Be warned though, he lists the Fox and Wild One as the same part... as we all know, they're not.

He is charging an arm and a leg for shipping! I would order a couple but it seems to me that the shipping is a bit outrageous!

One of my locals said that too, and I agreed then and now, but in the end of the day I saw it as not $20 (from memory) to post two little discs, but $20 to get my Fox going again on a more permanent fashion. Also, I believe you would pay more than the total sum to get the plastic parts tree, and then have them fatigue and crack again anyway.

Ok I agree with you but I in reality shipping should be that much He is kinda taking advantage a little.

Yes it is pricey on the shipping & this is why i didn't get them , when this post came up .

But at the end of the day , It is the part i need & they do break .

So it is cheap in a way & it does get me going . This is why i had to just do

it . I would like to have a fox running .

But when it gets here , I will look at what it cost to be posted here . If it is less than what i payed for

I will ask him what is going on & if needed go to paypal , as i have done this before & got some

money back . It's the postage he should not be making money on .

I got two set's & that cost $46 aus . about with PP fees etc . BUT

It does get my fox running :D & keep running ( i hope ) :lol:

I bought two sets of these as well. Enquired about combining postage and was told no.

They turned up in the same package with no postage value stamped, that i could find anyway.

Felt a little ripped off, but there was no real alternative. What can you do?

In the end it was only another AUD$6.50, and they arrived quick and look like quality items.

So no hard feelings.

He does have some other interesting parts as well, but I'm put off by the postage costs.

Wonder if someone in Aust can make these bits as well, hint hint ;)

Hmmmm.... I just got mine in the mail yesterday. Took about a week. The hubs were (aprox) $15 US and the shipping was about $6-7. I would assume he's using the eBay shipping calculator which can be off from the actual costs. Seeing as he's the only person (I know of) making these, and the high quality, I'm very happy. I'll most likely order another set or two for my shelf queen and other Fox.

sure bud. Here's a few:

my Fox (bought in '85ish) before the resto, mocked up for parts/missing parts:

after (this is a body off one of the CL Find Foxes. I'm waiting on a wing to repaint the original body.)

and here is the Mint Fox, the Runner, and the 'Hopper.
