While looking for something completely unrelated (location of headlight relay in the celica) I stumbled across this gem: http://australia.rs-online.com/

:eek: MY GOD :eek: the range of stuff these guys have is unbelievable, and their prices aren't bad either, $13.30ex for 50 metres of 30awg kynar wire (that's for another unrelated project, EEEPC ;)).

I killed 2 hours last night just looking at their range, you have been warned.

I use to have the printed version of their catalogue. Talk about needing two hands to handle a whooper, you also needed a back brace :)

Wouldn't you like to know ;) Just some warranty voiding "upgrades"

Shouldn't need all of the wire, might have a couple of meters left.

I did notice some of their prices were a little on the ludicrous side of insane, but most of what caught my attention was reasonable.
