The prices are as follows:
Local Rotax Agent: R137.35
USA Rotax Agent: $3.99 or R29.65
UK Rotax: Pound 1.65 (for NGK Resistor Cap and not little boot) or as I have calculated in previous post R27.00

I have asked a local NGK supplier to get me a price. They don't have in stock and are awaiting prices and stock from NGK.
OK, got the price from Midas (cannot buy direct from NGK) R31.45

Well, If that is the case, our local agents only make about R105 on each (^^) :wink:

And from what I have found the Rotax parts are very poor quality...with a very short life before they start cracking,

I am considering using these nest time I need to replace any rubber....they have a very good name Stateside,
