I don't know of any that ship to the UK, but you can make your own Manual Adjusters from a set of OEM ones, a carriage bolt, and two nuts. It involves drilling out the OEMs and tapping threads in them to accept the carriage bolt and then using the nuts to lock it into position when done.

Much cheaper than APEs, just as effective, if not as pretty.

If you'd like to buy them and send them to me I'd be happy to mail them to you. Usps.com shows an international small flat rate box (they'll fit) to be only $13.45 from Florida to Northern Ireland. It would take a bit of faith of course on your part, but you're welcome to ask anyone on here who has bought or sold anything from me before.

There's a set for $110 shipped on US ebay, but like you said it's US shipping only. If you get those also make sure they include the two gaskets. They don't mention them, but ape get just under $4 apiece for them. PM me if I can help.

Ya, Beau (CaptianChaos) is trust worthy.. So if he is willing to do that it is probably your best bet.

thanks guys

yeah i know the captain and lazn are cool, i dont post much on here but im about and id have no bother trusting either of you guys with it i know your sound.

that overstock parts galore site has two with gaskets and shipped to uk for 119.95 which is only 78 ££, so i think ill check that out first. i appreciate your offer captain and ill take you up on it if this doesnt work out

site doesnt look too pro tho. although if wicky is testifying that theyre good im sure its ok. plus you pay them with paypal so have some protection.

anyone else used that site?

wicky have yours arrived?
