Just wanting to know if people have recommended suppliers for door, hood, indicator, reflector and boot seals? I've looked on the net but would rather avoid the huge mark up for freight.

Wolfsberg in Geelong sell repro rubbers for the doors, Vintage in NSW sell most of the others and VWISPWEST in the USA are good too.

Thanks guys, I'm in the ACT so either Sydney or Melbourne will be fine...... I've also been warned that Brazilian rubbers are too large and should be avoided. Any other advise?

They did make Karmann Ghias in Brasil but they weren't the same as German made ones..
so, they may fit those OK..
also there are many factories in Brasil making VW parts..
and some are OK... its just finding the good ones..
no one seems to add the makers name on brasilain parts and that makes it even harder... [or they take the name off] lol
