    Has anyone bought any of the brake hoses on Ebay from Argentina? $24.00 plus $10.00 shipping for a set of 3 hoses. They mention possible customs, import charges, taxes. Norm:confused:

    I have not purchased from this gentleman, But I have dealt with another from the same area. None of the things you have mentioned ever came up! I ship to a lot of different countries and it has never been a issue either.

    Also remember those hoses are not DOT approved.

    I have not bought hoses from them. Having had brake failure in the past I would not buy any brake parts of unknown quality. Fortunately, no bodily harm to me but significant car damage. For me and my families safety, I will spend a few dollars more. I know for me, money is very tight and job security is uncertain at the moment, safety comes first. Unfortunately, it was my sons car that I damage after he had finished all the body work and ready for paint when the brakes failed. I was on my way to the shop to inspect the brakes when the accident happened. I do brake jobs for a living. For the customers safety and my liability I never even gave the customer the choice to install any brake parts not of the best quality. It just is not worth the risk! Lee

    Why not buy them from a trusted club member, Dave Kostansek, who's been supplying them to us Hudnuts for many years? They're $21 each.
