Welcome again at BBT’s Friday product Update!

This week we have a couple of new items where under one we worked for 10 years to find for You! But as the saying goes Search and You will find, we succeeded and can offer here and now for sale! Also another of other cool parts we stock already longer, but maybe You don’t know yet….

Early Flywheel shims are different from later ones, actually there is three different flywheel shims, the very early (25 and 30 DIN Hp or 36SAE as You want to call it) after comes what we call the 6 volts, for cars originally made between 1960 and 1966 and the later “12 Volt” models.

Flywheels shims are multi important to adjust the end play (or axial play in regards to your bearing to name it technically correct) on your crankshaft. This end play always have to be between 0,10 and 0,15mm.

After more than ten years of searching we’re very happy to add these early flywheel shims to our product line, so You can assemble that early engine of yours back again like it should!

1588-030 Flywheel shim 0.30mm – 25-30 DINhp (36SAE)

Another cool items we also add to our program this week is the small “pushbutton” glove box door lock available now in a very nice quality. Fits all beetles made between October 1952 and July of 1967.

Many times missing or broken, this might help to keep that glove box door closed! We also have a locking type under BBT reference 0515-1

And finally (for this week) we have a new “flex tube” for You.

It’s actually the cable housing that sits above your tranny and guides your accelerator cable between chassis and engine.

Many times your old part need replacement because its broken, bend or just abonded, missing… The old plastic is melted or broken off and this allows water to come in. Anyway, most cars needs a new one and here we offer the super standard stock solution…

This new one is for 67-71 model years beetle only, if You need one for a VW beetle made between 11/65 and 07/67 You can find under BBT ref 0910-500

Sliding roofs are so cool when they work properly, but repair can be a real pain You don’t want to know where… Well these couple of parts that have to guide your sliding roof cables may be a start to a perfect working solution. When these are no good, your sliding roof will never work properly!
