Need an I-beam version which CRC don't sell. Anyone ordered direct from gravity dropper and if so did you get hit with import tax?

@kimbers...how much did you end up paying in tax. Post with current currency rates comes in at 210 quid inc postage.

"Sample,no commercial value" or "gift". Either could be considered fraudulent however.....

have bought all parts for my GD amounting to about 75 quid (virtually complete rebuild) no customs tax and the service was brilliant speedy and hassle free. Probably worth buying from them as the UK distributer is useless at ordering what you want if you need it the same year!

It's frustrating that the only UK retailer sells only a limited range of all the models available. I'd be quite tempted with the 3" version as although maybe not the best they seem the easiest to maintain and repair yourself.
