Hi Mark,

I advertised them for £60....really can't remember how much they were when I bought them (for side mount.....went top mount in the end).

Obviously postage will be a few quid...will look into postage on Tues and let you know what it would be.....

PM me if you have had a quote for them....happy to sell them for less as they are no use to me!!

Dan
