GSF seem quite reasonable on price about £26 per corner last time i got some. Amtec ones. Had some on my tzd for 2 years now and still well gassed. Not sure if AEP in Glasgow can still supply. Plaedies? Local motor factors should be able to get them as well prob order only.

I'm fitting comfort spheres to my TZI next week, the old ones haven't done 3000 miles and are perfectly serviceable, yours free if you collect from a Rally

I bought some stuff from GSF then keep getting bombarded with 40% offers on everything most weeks. An odd way of doing business, I think, which makes the regular prices look inflated, like you found.

I will post up the code here if I get another one soon unless someone can beat me to it.

Looks like you got sorted anyway, but here's a code incase it's of use to anyone else:

From Friday June 3rd to Sunday June 5th, use code JUNE42 to get 42% off everything at GSF.

Small print says for home delivery only and excludes some air cooled parts, clearance items and custom car mats.

If you dont shift the spheres, Tim I'll take them :) The comfort spheres on the rear are just a little too soft ;)
