870k fork set

[lenny]

Does anyone know of a fork set other then the heavy duty short black ones for the 870k? I was looking for something with an adjustable width. I sent a message to a German co that makes a nice set for the damitz zl4001 loader unsure if it will fit of not. http://www.funktionsmodellbau-brueckner.com/

Thanks for the info Efroeh.. I did see on there site that a quick coupler system must also be used. the auto detachable feature is nice but wasn't looking to spend close to a nickel on a fork set rite now. Its boat season here in N.Y. thanks again for your help

No worries lenny, they are pricey but the craftsmanship looks bar none. Joe got some for a few pieces of his equipment he had some pics and such. You could maybe make some that just slide over the bucket we had some for our full size loaded worked alright. Enjoy boating cheers

Has any U.S buyers purchased parts from Tobias Braeker?? Im trying to get a total for the quick coupler and fork set for the 870k but his replies are less then helpful. I ask for the total with shipping and I get / prices can be found on my page?? I ask if im exempt from vat tax / I get responce that I must pay an import tax that he doesn't know the amount. I think they look like very well made parts and im sure hes not being rude or anything, but when a customer wants to send you payment you should be able to provide a total amount.

Shipping to the US is 47 euro.
Paypal fees for USA & Canada are 3.9% + 0.35€
Quick coupler 195 euro including 19% VAT
Fork 260 euro including 19% VAT

You don't pay the 19% VAT as an american. You will most likely end up paying import charges on delivery and also maybe duty fees depending who the shipper is.

Seems to me like Funktionmodellbau-Bruckner is the less expensive option.
