got my gear from Brazil today!

parcel arrived from Brazil today! overall i am happy with what came out of it. for anyone looking for dirt cheap rubbers and bits these guys are about as cheap as you can get. i got the rear engine hatch seal, pair of front door seals, windscreen seal and clear taillights for my 76 bus for about $200au total. that is less then the front door rubbers would have cost over here! as far as quality is concerned, the windscreen rubber seems excellent, real nice and heavy and shiny, the front door rubbers are nice and dense, and will hopefully last well (only time will tell), the taillight lenses come with full housings, the housings are silver coloured inside and overall the quality of them seems quite adequate (some minor cracking around one screw from a rough trip over here), but they will certainly do much better then the disintegrating ones in my bus at the moment, the only part i have to complain about quality wise is the rear hatch rubber, which is very poorly joined at the corners, but as i said at the start, all this for the money, i cant complain, service was great too. i can post some images of the products if anybody is interested. they came from brazilshopping.com

Did those taillights come with the plastic bit that covers the terminals to keep crap off them? I can't see it in any of the pictures.

what did they cost you to bring over

Where's the rear hatch seal and window seals?? I can't find them on the website, only the front windscreen seal??

I like those rear tail lights saw them on a bus the other day and it looked wicked

i saw the website and emailed the guy about the other seals, sounds like he can get just about anything, just gotta make sure its not hard to post (like window scrapers-too bulky). i will post some pics of the door rubbers tomorrow. have test fitted the windscreen rubber and it is perfect, the taillights fit fine too, look great, and it looks like the original dust caps will fit the back (they didnt come with any but are built close to original measurements all round, so think they are made to fit the original ones). the cost of postage is included in the $200. it was economy mail (6 - 8 weeks or something), cant remember what it came to on its own.

awesome...i think ill order a whole heap of stuff for the baja after valla.....looked at the site and this stuff is cheap as chips.......only time will tell if the light lenses fade quick......is it illegal to have smoked lenses?

mmmmm i was quoted nearly $50-60 US for postage on a set of those tail lights!!!! in the same postage as you got!
cheers
rhys

dont haev seperate prices, but the seals and surface mail came to $82US including surface mail, and the lights were another $38US on top of that with complimentary postage (included in other package price)

man i wish i had a credit card. so much stuff that i cant get here but i could get o/s. for example those empi stainless steel swaybar clamps... went to wolfsburg automotive yesterday, as they list themselves as the victorian empi distributor and theyre like 'no we cant get them'. how does that work?
