Trying to gauge interest in Willhoit AntiDrain back valve
Posted: Thu Aug 25, 2022 7:03 pm
Small update: Only need to buy three for discount!
I was considering buying an anti drain back oil valve for my 911 and wanted to gauge if there was any interest from others, as buying a small number gives an economy of scale that drops the price.
The pros and cons of the valves are documented elsewhere - I just want it as I often start my car up infrequently it saves the blue smoke on startup.
I was looking to buy a WR Anti Drain Back Valve for Porsche 911 up to 1989 [ I believe it is 1971 to 1989 )

This appears pretty much identical to the Rothsport one, but is better priced and comes with oil pipe clamps.
The best UK price for a Rothsport one including discounts and delivery is around £417 but then you need to buy some clamps aswell.
The Willhoit one direct from the USA is $333 including delivery + import duty + VAT + handling fees - so around £380+
However if I was to buy 3off ( was 5off ) units Michael at Willhoit would get me a reduction on the units, and the delivery to the Uk amortises to $30 or so per unit.
I expect they would be approximately £280 each landed in the UK - so a saving of over £100 from buying one direct and significantly more saved than buying via the UK.
There would then be a small amount for UK delivery.
If I could find a few others interested in purchasing a valve I would be happy to buy 5 in one go.
Or conversely if anyone else wants to organise a group buy then let me know.
Earl expects to have new stock in within a couple of weeks.
I've estimated the import duty to be 5% ( struggling to find an exact import code for this part ).
If anyone is interested in one then drop a reply or PM.
Thanks
Andrew
