That's pretty expensive. I bought mine from my local parts place for a lot cheaper. I'll look up the price on the receipt tomorrow, but I think it was around $25 USD or so. I might have been a little bit less. If you want, I could pick one up for you and ship one over to you if you would like.

I don't know if they ship internationally, but Autohaus AZ has them pretty cheap. I've always gotten good service from them.

Looks like AutohausAZ does ship internationally. My best bet would probably be to go thru them. I got my guibo for my local parts place for $24. I've been getting all my parts from them since they have the lowest prices and I don't have to pay for S&H or wait around 1-2 weeks for the parts to come in.

thanks, Ive ordered two, @ 26.92 each
how's the list price of $104

I got a few extra items, so my total was $76, plus $73 postage to OZ = $150 US say $165

so I have a saved a little bit, about $200+.
