Weird isn’t it? Disgraceful actually...trying to keep away from politics...
UK ebay, 1st hit. Easy. See attached.
UK Amazon seems to prefer Imperial? More hits for 1 1/8", but a few for 28mm.
Slightly "ambitious" prices?
For me, now seems almost as easy to import from US as Europe. "Green"? Nuts!
I had a fright with the double VAT thing when looking at used boats in Europe last year. Even USED boats originally delivered and registered, VAT paid in UK, but subsequently exported pre "cut off" become VAT liable when re imported.
French built boats VATable on import to UK, on basis of used value (despite Euro VAT being tne same as UK VAT at time of sale).
That VAT sum was worryingly vague, and no doubt "valuation" fees to be paid too?
Discovered this just as I was booking my ferry to France!
VAT on £50k is worth avoiding...which I did, by not buying from Europe.
Momentarily tempted to sail the damn thing home and say nowt...but then what about the inevitable questions about importing the empty used trailer!
Some bleddy progress
