Hopefully someone is close to this shop?

I would like to buy a pack of these :- SMC-GA-F-SL096 SLEC 90 Degree Bellcrank @ £1.13p.  But they want £3.50 P&P!

Is anyone willing to obtain these and send in an ordinary envelope 2nd. class?

Regards, Peter.

I take it you don't have any model shops close by Peter?

They are easily made from brass sheet/ plastic sheet, just make the shape a triangle and depending on what you want it for and the forces acting on it you may need to reinforce the pivot point.

1. Buy cans of beer 
2.  Drink Beer
3.  Flatten out beer can in double layer
4.  Cut into triangle
5.  Refer to Scotsoft post...

It might take several attempts to get it "just right"...

Unfortunately NHS Direct has been closed down, and has been replaced by the decidedly inferior 111 service

So caveat constructor!

Ah yes.. I forgot it changed in England!

 
To all of above! You've got a bloke in Aus cracking up!

Absolutely brilliant advice but.............

One question how am I to cut a straight line after consuming several cans of beer?

I would like the crank to operate around 90 degrees not up, down and inside out! (Hic!)

...

On a more serious note I have found an alternative supplier but many thanks for the great comments everybody!

Peter.

Although the cranks are normally shaped, you could just use a small square of thin ply or plasticard with a hole in the middle.
