I have ordered the rest of my kit and began to wonder if I should order the FWF kit at the same time, both for convenience and to avoid the vat increase and or additional shipping, even though it will be stored for a good while.
 
My engine is secondhand but I would replumb it with new anyway for reliability.
 
Are there any views on the value for money etc. of the FWF kits from Vans ?  Has anyone done it asssembling the parts locally ?
 
Any guidance appreciated.
 
Thanks

My expereinece order every thing you can to make use of the space and save on the vat  
cannot tell you how i spent on FEDEX customs vat etc  
 
My engine is an 0 360 A4K zero timed.  The vans FWF kit was perfect.  
One tip  if you order a starter motor make sure you get the right one (149 tooth is for  0 360 )

Dont worry about storage space for the fwf kit ...
 
You will get three medium size boxes  
1) veterman exhaust system ( really nice piece of kit and fits perfectly )  
2) Engine Baffel kit ( again typical vans takes a bit of work but just the job )
3) FWF stuff lots of bits (no real space required )  
Installation of all this gear is fun
