Been helping out a pal with the same old car as me, who lives in
California.

He's been doing some engine work on it, and wants to replace the exhaust
manifold bolts with stainless steel. They are available on UK Ebay at
about a tenner a set - 16 bolts, plain and locking washers. But the
supplier won't send to the US.

It does seem odd to me he can't source them in the US. They are 5/16ths
UNC, and threaded all their length so not even a normal bolt which might
be a bit more difficult. IIRC 5/16ths UNC is as near as dammit the same as
american coarse.

Whatever. I've ordered them up to be sent here. What would be the best way
to send them there reasonably quickly and at the best price? Given the low
value, could they be sent as a gift to avoid the delay of duty having to
be paid? I'd guess they will arrive here in a jiffy bag.
