I found a Canada 914 part builder that makes monoballs for the front top shock mounts. His price is $195 plus $58 shipping but those are Canadian dollars. What is that in US$$$?

(I know this may go up if the Tampa Bay Lighting beat the Flames. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) )

You could also just go to your bank or post office and get a money order in Canadian dollars. Thats what I do when buying parts from the US.

I wonder if that's Jacques Villeneuve's company?

Gilles/Jacques Villeneuve of F1 fame brother/uncle.

If it is he has major racing experience, even made it to Indy once.

Hmmm.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Maybe we could do a group buy... I can ship from within the USA from time to time, no/little border hassles.

Paul, before you buy from the canadian guy, check with Guy at strasse usa.

I bought a set from them a few years ago, cost was 199

they make two types of monoballs, the one with a new camber plate, and the type that you replace the rubber in your exisiting camber plates

Paul, strasse has 2 monoball set ups. I think they list the more expensive one on the website, give Guy a call.

or they could have raised the prices... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif)

Strasse' website has three different types listed on thier "Specials" section. But it says "March Specials" so it may not still apply. The inserts are listed at $229.00.
