Happy sunday to everyone…

Going through old picture files I came across this crazy snow plough… guessed it must have been working well to tell from the layout…:)

Enjoy!

From what can be seen it’s just a hand push crazy thing, no selfdriving! Would like to see that in action!!

all powered by a trusty VW engine…

Earlier this week we had to honour to receive a letter from our Japanese collegaues of Flat4 of Tokyo fame.

The sad news is that Volkswagen icon Mr Takashi Komori will retire as from now feb 28.

Mr Komori will be followed by Mr.Nao Fujita as president of the very famous Japanese Volkswagen parts company Flat 4.

We want to thank Mr Komori thoroughly for all he did for the VW community. He was the man behind the first aftermarket BRM wheels, steeringwheels and many good old EMPI products. Off course they made many other parts as well, but the most impressive was Mr Komori’s private collection. with so many rare and desirable cars and parts man could easily drool for hours!

After 42 years we wish Mr Komori a well-earned retirement and may he stay active for many years. This picture was taken from Mr Komori and yours truly many many moons ago…:)

Thank you so much Mr Komori for all you did for the Volkswagen community, You’re one of our real Volkswagen heroes!!

Welcome to our weekly product update.

This week also we have some news for you!

These small plates are many times missing or totally worn out on many split window buses. Originally painted ,we’ve decided to stock them in stainless steel, for those who don’t like scratched paint on their, bus, just buff them up and they will become all shiny! If you don’t like them shiny, you can still paint them….:)  This is a two in one solution this way…:)

Sold by the pair, and proudly tested on several buses out of the BBT collection.

After a longer than expected delivery time we’re proud to announce we’ve got these heater elbows back in stock now… These heater elbows do fit your VW bus if dressed with a Type 4 engine…

Our trusty and high quality supplier of ignition parts “BERU” made in Germany, halted the production of the once so famous “Blue Coil”. They replaced it with a blank one, so it’s aluminium metal colored… a certain period in the mid sixties brand new Volkswagens came from the assembly lines with blank coils. Of course a touch of black or blue paint is always possible as well… or just polish it to get that mirror finish… up to your choice. Our goal was only to find the correct replacement for our blue coils…. and we’ve succeeded.

Tested and approved on several cars out of the BBT collection.

This ignition coil is supplied with its correct mounting clamp.

We feel this is more correct as the now obsolete blue coil.
