Badger Part 41016

[MilitaryAircraft101]

Hello,

I have broken my Badger 175's needle tube, part 41016. This part is required to paint, and I can not find any parts anywhere that will ship to Australia. RUBBISH! I can't find anything and when I do, they don't even ship here! Annoying. I hate this, why can't they ship here! Anyway, if anyone happens to have a spare needle tube (Part 41016) and if so, do they have a spare fine nozzle and nozzle cap? (Parts 41003 and 41033)

Thanks

This mob claims they "ship worldwide".  http://www.chicagoairbrushsupply.com/crnetupanu41.html

Yeah, I had a look at them, but wasn't up to pay the $75 shipping for a $8 part

The Uk Badger importer has both parts listed on their web site.

their site doesnt say how much it would cost to ship down under thou.

Ive delt with them many times, and never had a problem. It might be worth having a word with them.

Ah, yes.  The infamous US mail rates.  I'd forgotten them.  However, it appears you can get them shipped downunder - just that the cost is exorbitant.

I'd go the UK route in that case.  Even you paid another member commercial labour rates to toddle off to their LMS for you and send them on, it would be cheaper than trying to extract something from the other side of the Atlantic.   Not sure why US mail rates are so exorbitant.  Its bloody ridiculous.
