Any further info on this?

I'm keen to get one! (prices should be close to $600 if we get a few in on the act!).

I reckon we're just wasting time with mania with purchase pricing, would be better off fronting them with a bulk fitting option if people are baulking at DIY fitting.

Just Mania are listing these at $850 and we can get them landed in Aus at present for worst case $600 with GST and and duty (and we might not have to pay duty at all) so they may in fact come down to $550 inc. GST.

well if you can get them here for 600 then what are we waiting for??

I was going to see mania based on the following quote

but if you can get them here for $600 then I'm down for sure

sliq wrote:Guys,

Just got a reply back from Flyin' Miata.

I got an estimate of shipping costs to my hometown Bankstown in Sydney. Costs of shipping for One Butterfly brace GUESTIMATE price was for:
$390USD for UPS Expedited (1 week transit) and
$275USD BAX Global/Schenker (about 2 weeks transit).

For about Seven FM Butterfly Braces:
UPS Expedited: $1390 USD (about 1 week transit time)
BAX Global/Schenker: $625 USD (about 2 weeks transit time)

He didn't state whether there would be any saving if we bought the braces in bulk - I've sent the bloke an email enquiring whether we do save or not. We don't want to save only on the shipping!!!

Suppose we buy 7 of these and send them to here.. It would be about $350 + $625 (shipping)/7 = $350USD + $89USD = $439 USD = $495 AUD.
Factoring in shipping to your doorsteps.. Say.. $30 plus or minus, it would be about $530 ish to your doorstep..

Let me know what you think..



I'm working off Sliq's post where if we order 7 or so their $500 landed, add a worst case of 10% duty and 10% gst and its $600 ish.

Lets get a list together so Sliq can get this going then, I'm keen to get an order in before FM's special runs out....

Has the guy that has this installed put a post in?

So I see I didn't miss anything whilst I was gone for the weekend + a few days.

No progress from those that have been asking about?
