I am chasing new rubber seals for a type 3 notch. I have some quotes where often 2 prices are provided - eg door rubbers from Brazil or from Germany. German stuff is about double the Brazilian price.
Is the Brazilian stuff any good? I would prefer to pay the cheaper of the two quotes - but don't want to buy stuff that will not do the job or last the distance. Anyone with past experience around this that can help me out? I would prefer some impartial,independent views rather than those of the blokes trying to sell me the stuff.
thanks
