So far, it's not working out. I looked into ordering some of the the parts I listed above and my Dealer got the dredded "illegal to order in US". He's gotten that before and after working some magic the parts got to the US about a month later. We'll see...
There's always Roveractive from Ebay, but you pay full list and sometimes an uplift on top - that's not the pricing direction I'm looking to go.
