I shipped a lot of parts to John Kane in England for a couple of years.
He swore shipping charges were off the charts. So he'd (I'm not recommending this) get a container, and buy all sorts of stuff to fill it. Trucks, motorcycles, accessories, cars, and parts.
I'd keep most of it here at my place until he was full on his container.
Once shipped, everything would hang up for a short period in customs.... for taxes.
I only bring this up, as its a fun story, that I enjoyed doing.
What I'm getting at is, items can get stalled in customs for a spell if you want to use parts right away. I'd try right there in England first.... and it'll be cheaper.
Also..... I'm pretty sure John used a cage out of a buel, for the fuel pump, as one of his X's was minus the the complete fuel pump. He rigged it and it worked last I knew.
John is now out of contact due to a severe medical issue.
