delays and indecisions

I've been hanging about the house for two days awaiting the arrival of several packages.
OK, I've also been ill so I wouldn't have been able to do anything with my bits 'n' pieces if they had come.
Guess what? As soon as I left the house for twenty minutes today the postman had been and left a card.
So tomorrow morning I will go and collect my turn signals and stainless fasteners. I know that's what they are as I got a phone call from Brakes4U to say that Goodridge no longer do the kit I've ordered (WTF... it's for a '09 model!).
So now I've got to measure the lines, take a picture of the banjo bolts and e-mail them in order for them to get it right and get a set built by HEL.
I've no idea what HEL lines are like so should I take the chance and just get them to go ahead or should I get my money back and try somewhere else?

The post script to this is, that having done a bit of research, I've decided that HEL seem to be every bit as good as Goodridge. So I've decided to go for them. They are also a bit less expensive. So, as Brakes4U are getting the rear set made up, I'll get them to manufacture the front as well. I'll just have to make a guesstimate and get them 2" longer than stock and hope that's long enough for my new bars, when I get them.
