Sorry for bringing this up again, but i'm just interested in where people have bought there cobra's from..

Is revolution racegear the best place to get them from?
Their website price seems to be about the same as minisport SA.
but i'm in brissy, so i'll need to add shipping..

Once you take into account shipping, it dosn't seem to be worth it to get them from the uk...

$$$ for the Huddersfield kit?

I ended up buying from Revolution race gear because I was after a specific colour, they had all the base factory colour swatches available so I could colour match the rest of the interior and they were a pleasure to deal with plus being stung with import duty the last time I bought from the UK.

I still need to get frames for the seat though....

Funny timing.. I just welded up a pair for the seats I have here. I'll let you know how they fit ;)

I have emailed them, so i'll see what they come back with...
They seem to be a fair bit cheaper than the other UK suppliers.

I got a set with subframes from Huddersfield at the beginning of the year. Almost bang on $1000 to my door. I went for them because they had cream vinyl with black piping and the dollar was good at the time. I got through with no duty or GST. Very happy with the whole process.

I've since ordered a length of the vinyl from them to do the rest of my interior so I get a perfect match. They're very helpful if you ask.

Be careful though, as the dollar changes. Lockie will attest to that.

even hit up http://www.minisport.com I priced it up to get 2 classic cobras sent over with airfreight and it's only $550, still a heap cheaper than anywhere you will get them over here.
