#579497 - August 17th 2012 3:26 pm Pattern fenders...
Blag journeyman Registered: August 16th 2012 5:07 pm Posts: 75 Loc: Ireland	Hmmm... We bought a passenger side fender for our GMC G3500 vandura from JCWhitney a few years back with no issue and with good international shipping prices. So I just checked Whitney again but for a driver side fender this time, but they no longer carry stock? I spoke directly to some guy on the phone and he checked & rechecked but with no luck. So my question to you guys, where would I get a pattern fender for a good price? preferably with international shipping? thanks. The one site I found on by google search had a fender for $125 usd but they were looking for $650 to ship to ireland!! Edited by Blag (August 17th 2012 3:28 pm) _________________________ Kevin

Blag journeyman Registered: August 16th 2012 5:07 pm Posts: 75 Loc: Ireland	Damn, these fenders are beating me.. I've tried as many specialist suppliers as I could find (europe) trying to get fenders for my van, but I have not yet been able to place an order. it seems to be a bit of a minefield in selecting the correct fender! I have received some replies saying they no longer carry pre 90's fenders (both in europe and in the US) so that gets me to wondering whats the difference? If its a simple mounting tab or bracket that differs and in general the fenders are 95% the same, then I can deal with that and tweak them, but if its a major change in the lines of the fender that'd be a problem... For example the guys at millsupplies carry fenders 92-96. Maybe I should be asking the european suppliers for a 92- fender? Your thoughts?

Blag journeyman Registered: August 16th 2012 5:07 pm Posts: 75 Loc: Ireland	Some folks just don't appear to like the hassle of shipping internationally so I'm guessing they 'max out' the shipping fees on the listing to turn international buyers away.... Thanks for the offer of help (on the other thread). Very kind of you to offer. _________________________ Kevin

Doc 2% of Canada, EH!!!! Vanner Registered: June 10th 2003 12:00 pm Posts: 12379 Loc: Burlington, On, Canada Eh !!!!	Heck I shipped a whole front Astro clip to Iceland for 800.00 and the crate was loaded with lots of extra parts as well.... If you have PAYPA*L maybe a Cleveland Ohio Vanner can drop into Mills Supply get one box and ship it to you... The only hassle on International shipping is filling out a simple customs form..... _________________________ I don't need to be honoured by Vanning, I am honoured to be Vanning !
