Air freight is about US$10/KG, plus import fees and duties. Make sur ethe engine is real clean or quarantine will drive you nuts.
Get in contact with a local freight / customs agent for a quote.

So you reckon its worth me bringing as many spares as possible then?? I have a spare Pinto, Atlas, English, 2000e box, T5 box, all sorts really.
(And yes Nev, I still have the Holbay!)
I also have some contacts in Northland NZ for bits, thats a bit closer?
