Australian Vintage Stockists for rubbers?
Chasing a more or less. complete set of 61' beetle rubbers incl windows. Any reccomendations of Aus companies, good, inexpensive and can ship
efficiently. WA based though no major pref.

and coloured rubbers (white) are in some mild/ideal preference, but the budget may not allow.

whoever you get it from, insist on quality brands for all your pieces, and that every item has the manufacturers sticker on it. I had a dodgy
windscreen seal substituted amongst a bunch of West Coast Metric rubbers and it didnt last 6 months in the West Australian Ultraviolets.

Hi
BEST ARE probably Wolfsburg Automotive in Victoria...
they have just about everything rubber plus more
made to their specifications...
Not the cheapest just the best.
excelllent quality..
door rubbers - it doesn't matter if they are Brasilian as they are easy to fit
but Windscreen and other rubbers... need the best quality unless the car is in a dark room all of the time...lol
there are some brasilian rubbers that aren;t too bad... BUT
there is NO brasilian brand that We can use..
Most rubbers are Brasilian these days... some not too bad
some terrible... luck of the draw... YIKES..

Yes, West Coast Metric and Wolfsburg West are the 2 most reliable suppliers/manufacturers of VW rubber,
BUT.. like I said.. "insist on quality brands for all your pieces, and that every item has the manufacturers sticker on it. I had a dodgy windscreen
seal substituted amongst a bunch of West Coast Metric rubbers"
Be warned.
