No one can get them locally, aside from the dealer.

Yeah I use them A LOT... especially when I'm in a pinch. With larger orders though, I find it cheaper to buy from the US and pay the shipping + duty.

With this particular part, they simply don't have it in stock, otherwise it would be a no-brainer.

FWIW, always dbl check your order from them: twice I have paid in full, but when the box arrives found that an item is "backordered". You have to call and get them to refund. They do it without hesitation, but you do have to be vigilante to make sure very single item was shipped.

PM sent!
It's just the caliper seal kit, wouldn't even weigh an ounce.
