Hello Norm:

The FCPgroton.com pricing is still very worthwhile after shipping. Be sure to ask them to ship via US Post, which will result in a very low customs brokerage fee ($5.00 CDN). Expect to pay PST and GST as well (you'd have to pay them if you bought locally anyway!). So far I haven't been charged any duty on stuff from FCPgroton.com.

Just for the sake of comparison, I bought a tie rod end for my 245 from them for $9USD. The local NAPA affiliate gets $77CDN, and the cheapest import auto place sells white box crap for $29CDN!

An additional plug for them-- I bought a headlight switch from them which was defective-- I called and mentioned it, and they threw in another without asking me to send the old one back, which can be quite a hassle (returning US goods forms, etc. that I occasionally have to do for work).

Two thumbs up for FCPgroton, but I would avoid the Scantech stuff they sell...

Good luck!
