If we all keep our zukis long enough,well prolly all have to do our ordering from overseas eventually.

 

is spent a 6 months in japan. the suzuki over there are called jimny's. the have 3 banger motors on them. the wheel base is even smaller than the ones here. i can't think of much that you would be able to use. i don't know what you have in mind though. all the suzuki over there come with the emergency brake thing on the x-case. i have a buddy going over in july i'm going to have them send me one back. big time lanquage gap also.

I found a parts supplier in Europe while looking for the SJ410 mirrors -- I've never ordered anything from overseas and was curious about the process. Will a credit card company take care of the currency exchange?

I'll be back.

 

not sure, but i think they could take care of it, if not, the company your buying from should be able to.

yep they should, the number on the card and type would tell them it is a U.S. card vs. one of there's.

>>Will a credit card company take care of the currency exchange?

Yes. I use my VISA all the time while traveling - NEVER had any problems anywhere in the world. You'll get the detailed exchange rates/originall amounts on your next statement. However, you may want to check with your C/Card rep. BEFORE you make a purchase: sometimes they will charge you an outrageous exchange rate, so beware.

Hope it helps

Great! Good to have the advice from those who are experienced. Thanks.



I'll be back.

Steve,
Also BEWARE OF EXCHANGE BROKERS!! I import tropical fish from time to time and don't let an exchange broker rope you in!!They charge outrageous fees for doing something that you can do yourself.

I don't have a catalog, just the web site. It is:

Hey Rui,

I must have missed that post some how! However, if the offer still stands, I have been looking for the price on a pair of '86 or earlier SJ410/413 mirrors.

http://bbs.off-road.com/wwwthreads//showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=offroadsuzuki&Number=448522&page=10&view=collapsed&sb=5

Are there many resellers of Suzuki (OEM and/or aftermarket) parts over there?

Hey guys,
I live in Germany and I've got two Suzuki dealers within about 10 miles of me. They've sold Suzuki Jeeps here for about the past 30 years and the dealer still has a multitude of parts available. A couple of years ago I bought a brand new SJ410 grill so I know that's still available-not sure about the mirrors though. I seem to recall those old mirrors (same as the 86 model year) were really awful-never stayed in place and were always getting blown around in the wind.

1988.5 Zuk: OD Green Paint, ARB Bumper, OME Lift, 1.6 engine, ISKY DP Cam, Weber Carb, CF II Clutch, 4.16 Transfer, etc.

 

I Will check if they can still get them and if their price is worth exporting to USA. This is a part that probably wasn't built in spain so they might be expensive. I will see

Thanks. I appreciate it.

Zukinator, the old metal type mirrors also came on some 1986 Samurais in the US and may be available through a dealer. Suzuki John in Las Vegas sells them new for $40 each side if your dealer can't get them. That should be much easier and probably no more expensive than going overseas for them.

This is his site http://suzukijohn.hypermart.net/

I sent an e-mail to Suzuki John yesterday:

"In a message dated 6/19/01 3:13:11 PM Pacific Daylight Time,
Are these mirrors listed on your site the 1986 and earlier SJ413/410 mirrors
that mount on the side of the cowl?
"OUTSIDE MIRRORS...EARLY MODEL METAL FRAMED...$40.00 EACH SIDE "

Thanks.

Suzuki John:

NO...THEY MOUNT TO THE DOORS....

Thanks for the suggestion though -- another site to add to my favorites list.

I'll be back.

 

zukinator, if I'm not mistaken even the early models mounted to the doors. I know that when folks here do the removable door mod they mount the mirror to the cowl, but they were originally on the doors. Maybe you should email him back and see if he'll send you a picture just to make sure. Good luck

Ohhhhhhhhhh. O.K. If it isn't already apparent, I have no idea what I am really looking for /wwwthreads_images/icons/laugh.gif.

Yankee Tim said that he is running them -- maybe I can get some insight from him. I'll also check with SJ.

Thanks Smitche!

I'll be back.
