Good to see a Mexican join the forum! I predict two things for this year a) your first build will be a success and you will start on an upgrade soon afterwards; b) Sydney Swans will once again crush Victoria's hopes at the Grand Final!

Sure24 ship to Australia and turn around is usually 10 or so days. Sika Stag /Ian Sirrell of IR Light Builds will ship T20, T66 & T74 torches or drop in pills for the T20. Marky610 of Nitetek doesn't export, but his DIY adapter parts can be had through Sure24.
Pics of your build are of course mandatory. :)

Mexican? I like their food, but blue eyed and blond haired here! :wtf: And I don't really care one bit about the foody mate! Now the round ball game gets me going.

I have 2 left hands when it comes to anything electric, but I built an off road trailer a while back, and did all the 12v solar stuff on it (THX YouTube & Google) so I am sure my add on will work just fine, there is just so much info online for it that even 1 term Tony could get that one right! :silent:

I'm a blue eyed, blond, six foot tall, Aryan Superman myself. :P
I was born in NSW, my parents are Mexicans who crossed the southern border seeking civilization. In other words, I was playing on interstate rivalry for a laugh. You'll find it par for the course if you hang around here very long, Aussies are 'reverse vampires' due to our love of the sun, according to one of the mods on here.
BTW, I wasn't suggesting that you can't do the work yourself, just pointing out suppliers that are generally trusted by the forum members, who will ship to Australia.
I hope your build goes well.

Six foot short ass LOL, I am 6'4', and now I get the Mexican term seeing your parents came from Vic. I reside in OZ but hold a European passport, hence I don't care about Aussie foody in any way, and thats even after living here for over 30 years.

And I am grateful for pointing out the honest/trusted suppliers on here, and I did not take it sideways :crazy: I have everything ordered, just have to wait a few weeks due to the Holiday period in China. I am pretty much doing a Rolaids behind a scope add on, his YouPube video's convinced me to built my own instead of buying a NiteSite set up, he just made it look so simple! And doing DIY stuff is half the fun I think.

Fair enough. There is an Aussie manufacturer that makes a night site equivalent, Manic Industries. Prices are half Night Sites.

But Home builds will work out cheaper and as good or better.

Just found your vids on YouTube, and have subbed as well. Do you have a part/price list?

No Dave, I thought you were local only after you Ebay problems. If you will mail to OZ then I'll look at my current ideas and see if your products will work instead of my planned bodge up.
Could you do a one off 39mm lens adapter to suit the Yukon lens? If so, can you guesstimate price?
