I managed to get my locker through from the states without paying any import taxes and it worked out around £320 delivered - I consider it one of the best modifications from the standard, refurbished shifting that I have done to the bus.
Not just paying for a name you are paying for solid, reliable and precise engineering - I wouldnt drive a bus without one fitted.
Not cheap but more than worth the investment - and it can be removed and refitted to a new bus!
Bigbear said:I suppose the fact that you can use it for one bus then remove it and use it on another is good, pay for it once benefit many times over, do they have a garantee, or are they pretty much solid as a rock for reliability?

Good exchange rate when you got yours Stu. Now with the current rate it's about 360 GBP including postage but not including duties. Still a lot of coin.

Not a cheap addition but a welcome one!
Hi,aspro said:Nugsy said:I bought a Gene Berg locking one with a ball handle in the last group buy just over a year ago, and bought a new linkage kit from Heritage and cant fault either.
Hopefully over xmas i can get some ramp time at my mates garage and fit em bothI need to as i cant fit my 3 gauge pod at the moment as the standard shifter has far to long a throw and i'd never get it in 1st
Remeber what it cost all up with the ball Nugsy?

I had a Gene Berg Locking shifterdelivered in October, With postage it was $589.12 (£403.90) Duty (if you end up paying it) is £84.95. TOTAL £487.98. It took 4 months to get delivered as they only do batches every so often. It's a luxury item, but well worth the investment asthey are so difficult to remove once locked - very sturdy indeed.I bought a VS, but fancied the extra security and deterrence that a GB locking shifter brings.

One way to avoid paying tax is to have it marked down as being a lower price, but you run the risk of only claiming that lower amount should it get lost. This advice was given to me by Jimmy Carr - the comedian, I think he's renovating a bay. :shock:
