Do you not have a local Maplins you can pop into?

If you are struggling I could always get one for you and post it cheaper than that. Thinking about it, if you only want one I may have a spare one in my bits box. I'll take a look later.

Post by: jimmy2x2x on July 19, 2010, 05:11:57 am: No local stock for me, I was thinking they would be like 80p each and £2 postage - not £10 !

Must be getting old, hahaha

Post by: Franco B on July 19, 2010, 05:33:02 am: I've had a look and I have one plug, one socket and two hoods if they are any good to you?

I'm going to need some for a current project but I'm going to need to order more anyway so you could have these if you need them.

Post by: Grasshopper on July 19, 2010, 04:39:21 pm: It might be worth checking out Farnell. Unfortunately, they have a minimum order policy, but their prices are generally very competitive and they sell stuff you just can't get elsewhere.

Strange... did you make a business account yet? The RS-NL site is without shipping costs. And lots of stuff I order there is DHL-ed within 24 hours from the UK (don't understand how they can afford it).
