        I like how you include ten screws. Because you're gonna drop one and it will disappear to Narnia. And another will come out on its own at some point.

            Thanks, Sadly here we cant get the domed screw like standard and the dia of the head is a tad smaller. Also i think genuine ones you buy now arent domed. But i make them to suit the original Suzi screws.

                  120 aus dollars for the caps, and seems its about 35 bucks for me to post to Albuquerque, New Mexico. That give you some idea. Since the aussie dollar is under 75C to ure US dollar it be ok ( i think)

                          Makes one wonder about a 'group buy" --
                          Might save some shipping costs if someone took on organizing a box full and distributing them through the USPS ...
                          If anyone does that -- I would be interested in a set -- just because I can...

                              Well just posted my 1st set of 4 caps plus 10 stainless screws to Florida from east coast of Australia including parts, postage and PayPal fees it cost the gentleman just under $125 USD to have a set sent over. Seems the exchange rat is good atm for people in the states to buy from Aus. Food for thought?
