I've been watching the prices on items from the UK vs the domestic
guys and the savings can be pretty big. I believe that there are
deals to be had. I saved about 30% on an order I placed last month,
the only down side it that it got caught in customs so it took 3 weeks
to get here.
I checked the prices from UK Healey (picked becasue of easy of thier
website and good experiences) and here is what a set of hubs would
cost. AH Spares prices are typically about the same
AXL071 LATEBJ8 Splined Hub R/H (8 TPI) #45.00
AXL072 LATEBJ8 Splined Hub L/H (8 TPI) #45.00
FSP106 LATE BJ8 Front Splined Hub R/H (wire wheels) #58.00
FSP107 LATE BJ8 Front Splined Hub L/H (wire wheels) #58.00
Total #206 x $1.82 = $374.92 plus shipping
Here are the same prices from Moss
664-010 HUB EXTENSION, L/H BJ8 from (c)26705 1 $138.95
664-000 HUB EXTENSION, R/H BJ8 from (c)26705 1 $138.95
661-990 HUB, wire wheel, front, R/H BJ8 from (c)26705 1 $181.95
662-000 HUB, wire wheel, front, L/H BJ8 from (c)26705 1 $181.95
Total $641.80 plus shipping
The shipping difference will be brutal, but can it be more than $265?
You can email and find out what the shipping will be in advance to
see if it is worth the savings.
Good luck,
Patton
