Wottonboy, I have just searched for all your recent posts and I have found the one which you are referring to, first of all it is quite a big ask, but nevertheless you did received 3 or 4 sensible replies and even one man has even proposed to look into it himself to try and see if he can source the part and possibly ship it to you in Australia.

I am an Italian living in London for over 27 years and as SimonRoma rightly said, I can confirm to you that shipping from Italy to Australia is a russian roulette. Had you asked us here in UK we could have probably had more opportunities because first of all we have a lot of bike breakers and postage from UK it is a lot safer but one thing you have to appreciate is that it will never be cheap.
