10 februar 2020 - Service
We made recently some BIG improvements in the material we used for brake hose, this means we make now “Ozon” resistant test and simulate a life span of 20 years in hard road use…
A visit to our manufacturer proved the right idea…
We replaced now ALL of our existing stocks with all new stock, made from the new rubber to the modern standards of all OE car manufacturers (assembly lines)
Also the connectors been slightly changed…:) they been made fully automated now… over 2 million a month!
This is a seven step brake hose connector machine, produce 80 brake hose connectors per minute!!
This is the assembly line…
Packaging machine was pretty impressive as well!
Brake hoses been regularly tested (every two hours of the production) in three different ways… strength, pressure and flow…
and now also on OZON resistance…
If your BBT brake hose (BBT printed IN the rubber) shows cracks within 5 years we replace free of charge with a smile! Just send us your old ones and we send you new ones…totaly free. the factory back us up completely…
We don’t want this…:)

This place is huge… but inside was not allowed to take pictures…
We saw and discussed the making of piston and liners… BBT will be forever a very loyal Mahle partner, the best piston and liners we can buy for our aircooled VW’s!!
Next was a company that will make our flywheel rings…
We started up production for Flywheel rings to replace your worn out starter teeth on your flywheels…
Small highly specialised factory…
Testing is everything and correct hardness is tested in simple every step of the production process!
The welder before his welding machine, high induction welding, this brave man did it for millions of starter rings!
cutting of teeth by-pass…:)
Flywheel rings are grind 10 at the time, pretty spectacular!
we will have them soon available, last details been discussed, and first order is placed… we will make 6 and 12 volt 109 and 130 theeth…
Off course no Brazil visit is complete with out a visit to a Bob’s burger…:)
