Urgent Lash Pad appeal

I'm going to need some lashpads in the coming month or so, so I checked with precision shims in Oz.
Looks like it'd cost around £80 to £100 per set of 12 all in.
Is that reasonable? Seems on the high side, but I don't know a good cheap source....

What seems reasonable to one member will be unreasonable to another.

The words cheap and good dont often occur in the same description when its for a low volume specialist item made to fine engineering tolerances.

If you were standing at the Kameari parts counter they would be £5.50 each according to their catalogue.
 
Yes, thats what I'm comparing to :) kameari ones from rhdjapan come in at about £100 per set too.... Which is my default since I trust quality is high.

Well there is no need for further debate then:bow:
Just get them bought.
Have you done a dummy build on one to see what thickness you need.:confused:
If not them get thick ones... you can always have them ground down to size but they can never be ground up:D
 
I can assure you the Lash Pads from Precision Shims in Oz are of very high quality.
AND you get to speak/order from someone who speaks English...

FWIW I'm using them in my new L33 that's going in my 240Z...

Thats good feedback, any chance of you posting some pictures
 
Something I saw reminded me of this thread. In the end I got shims from these guys in Oz - only place I could get them big enough - 7.5mm. No problem so far.
 
And for completeness, some of them ended up getting ground a little to precisely centre the wipe pattern. Not sure how many - to paraphrase Skiddell, the head work was bought not built :)
 
I'm torn on head work. I've spoken to Cnc heads where I think skidell had his done, also to guy croft who's done some work before, he's got amazing OCD on such things!
