Let's get a cost/benefit comparison. The USA ones look pretty robust but shipping and manf costs seem at the high end of the Shocked scale.

What's Ray reckon the cost/coverage going to be for these beauties...? Bodsys Brake Bible

Might it be an idea to start a Group Buy "Who's interested?" for Uncle Ray's rock sliders? Because I'd also be interested in a set. LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.

United Kingdom 2010 Discovery 4 3.0 TDV6 HSE Auto Zermatt SilverDiscovery 4

Got the shipping costs from these guys a few weeks ago. Shipping to UK ports for collection
was as follows for 1 or 2 sets..

Felixstowe $319USD
-Glasgow $369USD
-Liverpool $360USD
-London $319USD
-Manchester $362USD

And the sliders are priced between $1200 & $1500 depending on options.

Would imagine it's hit & miss as to whether you get stung for tax & VAT this end. If you got clobbered for the
whole lot they would be pretty expensive!
