Edson wheel steering

[seafox]

I have just broken this small plastic part called a conduit end fitting on an Edson steering system. It looks like a cheap $5 part. That is why it broke. I bumped it when I was removing the gas bottle. The nut on it is not even stainless. It is mild steel and has rusted. There is a cheap stainless hose clip that comes with it. Edson US price $98.00.
NZ price $160!

We are only talking the plastic part in the photo here. Not the conduit or cable. That price is for one! It is the size of a small skin fitting.

Does anyone pay these ridiculous prices for Edson parts?

I went to Burnsco (local chandlery) and bought a skin fitting for under $10. With some small modifying it will replace the over inflated part.


All of the parts on their price list are incredibly high. Worse than Volvo even

I can't believe what a rip off these Edson parts are....
