Title: Any Aero part sources in Brazil? Need a steering wheel and shift knob
Post by: ChrisBcritter on June 09, 2020, 12:00:43 AM

I'm sure this will be a toughie, but does anyone here have Willys parts contacts in Brazil? The '63 Aero 2600 needs a few things: a steering wheel, a shift knob, and a dash pad (probably should go to Just Dashes for that, but...). Thanks for any advice! (I do speak Spanish, but not Portuguese  :-[)

Well, since one of your associates never extended the courtesy of a reply to me (Aero Lark) after flipping the extra Aero models he had on the Aero FB group, I pretty much decided I'd return the favor in kind to your inquiries here. In spite of my first impression, I will make this exception and give you some pointers on how I bought my parts from Brazil.

Learn the quirks of online English to Portuguese translators.
Learn the currency exchange rate.
Search Mercado Brazil regularly.
Join the Brazil Aero Facebook group.
Get a Xoom account.
Word your inquiries courteously, both in English & Portuguese.
Be prepared to pay high shipping rates for large items.

Also, I no longer need the answer to the question I asked your guy a few weeks ago.

Late as usual, but thanks for the advice - I appreciate it. Think I got a steering wheel located.
