The ever knowledgeable RSRBOB asked whether this price was for ABS brakes,
and what cost would be for postage. Below is the response.
"What I quoted you the other day was for a 3 line set up non ABS.
ABS setup has 7 lines and most of the fittings are only available in zinc.
I have worked out a good price at $500.00 (AUD). for the kits. That is
about
$100 cheaper than what I would normally charge.
It would however be possible to have a combination of zinc and chrome or
zinc and stainless steel, but the price above is for zinc only. If you
would
like the combinations let me know and I will send you a price.
Without knowing exactly where in the USA for postage, it would be
approximately $15"
Divide AUD by 2 for USD, ie $250 and $7.50 US
Regards,
Rob Chapman
