Need to get new parts to a container by Monday

1982 280GE W460 failed its semi-annual New Zealand inspection. I got a parts quote locally, but the prices were out of the ballpark and they have to be shipped from overseas. I've got a shared container heading from LA to Auckland next week. Doors close on Monday.

The rear brake proportioning value has its Brake valve rod broken. Need a new one.
The Rear Trailing arm bush needs replacing. The NZ quote was really high.
The Right Front Brake Hose is damaged (outer rubber is coming off). Probably should order all of them. How many?
The headlight switch needs replacement

Can anyone provide part numbers, what range I might expect to pay and where to order them so they will arrive in a California container warehouse by next Monday at the latest?

Thanks

Those parts are all small enough that a standard shipping box would be more economical than a container.

That being said, I would contact EuroTruck http://www.eurotruck-importers.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=...

or Fourbyfourclub: http://fourbyfourclub.com/

They can certainly help you; and you'll need to provide a VIN so they can get the correct parts.

Thanks, I'll call them in the morning.

The container has 20 riding lawnmowers in it, I'm just tagging along... it's a buddy of mine sending the container.
