Can anyone help - trying to source gearbox mounts for my LT77 manual box (Rover SD1 etc) Rimmer Brothers think it's funny to charge £4.63 a side... bit much I think !? 
:: EDIT :: TYPO !! These are £11.69 a side !! I knew it was a lot ::What do we know / think ? It part no. CRC454A here  |

It's just a boggo cotton reel mount, that's all......you need a catalogue for suitable bits and find a dirt cheap repair! Friend recently had his reverse lock out on his 308 - turned out one of the bushes had failed. Official Ferrari replacement was 42 quid (this is a bush about 3cm long, 2 cm in diameter). Unfortunately, we couldn't take it out to measure it as that'd immobilise the car, so he paid up and got the OEM one. When it arrived he measured it up, found he could get it for 3.48 from a reputable supplier  |

Man, I'd love to be able to get genuine parts at prices like that. I just bought two Nissan brake caliper seal kits and two small springs which are essentially like a two inch long piece of bent wire.... the price? Over £100! How about a new door to replace the one I've wrecked on my truck? £347+ vat please. I think I'll buy some filler instead...

TBH I'd bay £4 for a gearbox mount without thinking anything of it. Yeah, yuou can probably go match up the bits you need from a discount supplier for cheap but for the most part I'd value my time and hassle at more that the £3 or so saved.
£11.69 sounds more like me saying "thats a lot" and then paying it.
