I have actually ordered them, and, while it's basically a good idea, the trouble is that the total cost of the parts will be the insured cost of the parts, etc. and, if you want more than two BM badged toothpicks, will then be over the 1,000 dollar mark which seems to trigger an interest from the Customs here. Even paying the tax on an import item isn't too bad, but the time wasted with the customs folk here in Sydney is just too silly to contemplate. :-( (I speak from experience!) regards, CrazyCam

I might even have to go to knobless and ask him.
