I like the idea of an electric boot release in my gem too but with no lock id be too scared coz there is no way of getting into the the boot if something stuffs up. especially if its like mine and all panelled out.

triple quarter??? WTF? If u went into maccas and asked 4 a quadriplle quarter, do they call it a 'pounder'??? hehehe, i really do need some sleep.
Dude, when i come up 2 pick up those parts will the g/box fit into the boot of a Gemmi? I may be askin my bro 2 taxi me up there as he has a EF Fairlaine or something sedan. More room = more parts. If Spud hasn't grabbed the webber i may grab it - not sure yet, but the extractors r a definate as well. Did u want me 2 bring da chips n drink wit me when i come up? Honey baked ham and red fanta wasn't it? I'll talk 2 u soon 2 organise the dealio wit everything, i find out about my shifts on Thur. But i normally have da weekends off now.

it is 32.50 each if you buy 1
it is 29.45 each if you buy 2
and 25.95 each if you buy 4

i am keen to get 1 too so if there are a couple more people out there interested in getting one we can all get them nice and cheap
