Yikes!
Ease up folks, it was an innocent idea, I wasn't inferring anything of the like.
Let's back away from this before some government puke start sniffing around my house.

Not many importing American cars now, petrol is ~$8.18 per US gallon.
Would have to be shipped in multiple packages as 20kgs seems to be the max before prices go extra extra high.
In the meantime I have a 'pie in the sky' project to recreate the ER10 using modern bits. 0-20,000rpm spindle + VFD, linear bearings and epoxy granite machine castings.
Got as far as buying 2 spindles and a VFD then my own personal credit crunch hit.

I will GIVE you a headstock casting for the price of shipping.
I'll weigh one later today.

Use one of those miracle vacuum packing units they show on TV. Then you can just mail it and they can slip it under the door.
