It all adds up. Just sharing some info. Not trying to stir any pots.  |
Excellent info Norcam
I was willing to help anyone here to mark any value they wanted on the customs form anyways but I completely understand at the same time that some people don't want to do that. Like I said you live and learn and I plan to stay away from the expensive or large heavy stuff when I go picking for parts. Cheers
