Is it worth bringing one of these back from the US?

If you are going there yourself anyway, then possibly. When I looked at importing them the shipping cost far outweighed what it cost to source them from the UK. You can pick them up for under £50.

Or I have 4 that I took off mine when I did the chassis that you are welcome to take your pick from, gratis. One of them had a little play but the others are fine if scruffy.

Thanks Peter, very generous of you.

I don't actually need one, I was just trying to think of things that could be bought more cheaply in the US so I could put one in my hold luggage.

Gearbox rebuild kits. I imported mine from the states and it was still only 2/3rds the price of buying here - if you can get one in the UK at all.
