Has anyone ordered from Fuel Tank Radiator Service in Australia lately? I'm trying to order three sets of their copper T manifold gaskets, and not having success.

I know some people swear by those one-piece gaskets, but the stock rings and gaskets have always worked well enough for me. I haven't seen any need to spend the extra money. I do add a little smear of hi-temp RTV.

Corrected missed some facts

I was curious so .....

Total cost for 3 sets includes shipping from FTRS is ($37 USD fir 2-3 sets) or $111 USD for 3 sets includes shipping Duty free?
Shipping from Australia to Grayling Michigan arrives ?

Snyders price is $41 USD each or $123 USD for 3 sets plus postage & tax 6%
Shipping from Snyder's $10-$15 to Grayling Michigan arrives in a 3-4 days
$123 + $15 = $135 x 6% = $8.10 Tax
$123parts + $15ship + $8.10 Tax = $146.10

Australia saves $30

Frank, your postal calculations are off according to the chart I use to send parcels. 0-250g, $21. 250- 500g, $27.25 I would be surprised if three sets of gland rings made 250g.

Then there is the exchange rate. Our dollar buys just US63c so you only pay approx 2/3 the price expressed in AU$ Me thinks that will make a big difference to your calculations. I can sell stuff to you guys, but buying from you is really spendy.

It gets even better for you blokes. FTRS have a special price on three sets for $96. With my higher postage costs added, that comes to AU$123.00 At US63C/AU$ That makes it just US$77 49, a considerable saving of approx US$60.

Thank you all for the replies. I was able to get three sets ordered this morning. Christine told me that there had been a problem with their site, and their IT person has it fixed.

Alan, I made several errors in my calculations and revised the post above so it wouldn't be referenced in error. seems close to yours
As a result I ordered 3 sets from FTRS just now ... Thank You!

I have received the following from FTRS regarding the status of their Model T Manifold Gasket website:

"Due to the fluctuation in exchange rates, there has been a reduction in price of sets of Model T Ford Manifold Gaskets on www.tgaskets.com website. This will be processed within days."
