Gestern um 05:24 - NEW

Cold, misty, grey, overcast, humid...
Late fall really feels like boring winter in Western Europe.

Many of us now spend time in their garage or shop.
Working on projects to release hopefully in the spring .

Let us help you with more and better parts
Non stop.
Welcome to  the BBT NEWS.
For several years we work on our BBT brake drum line.
Today we proudly launch two new applications.

Developed with greatest precision.
Cast iron is assessed for 27 different chemical elements during the melting and casting process.

NOS stub axles modelled for our two-meter-long brand-new spline tool.
Extreme quality control in every step of the process.

BBT brake drums can easily be considered as Original Equipment.
They do not come any better.

Made in Brazil.
All BBT brake drums HERE
Out of a canceled special order we now offer bus side panels without louvres/air vents.
Right side comes with the gas flap hole though.

Economically priced what makes it a good solution if you only want to change your side partially.
Perfect to create your own fantasy (camping)trailer, food truck or decoration.

Regular bus side panels HERE
A broken suspension stop holder is no longer reason to discard your IRS trailing arm.
We're happy to offer now a perfect repair stud.

Originally welded our repair stud bolts for easy installation.
Or can be welded for perfection.

Our correct 60mm suspension stop HERE
Type 4 alternator ring now available.
This seal made from hard-plastic is a necessity to mount the alternator properly on your Type 4 engine. 

Rubber air flow elbows for Type 4 alternators HERE
Normal hardware we add to our product lines, we don't publish on our weekly news letter.
Except when it's a special one.
This bolt tightens your swing liver to your front axle on T1 & T2 buses.
Often neglected this bolt is a very important part of your steering system.
Originally 8.8 we decided 10.9 is a better standard.
You don't want your steering to be wrong.
Being the mounting kit only for the brake pedal before, we now add  necessary hardware for your clutch pedal too.

Hardware for brake and clutch pedal together just seemed logic to us.
BBT NEWS team wishes you a very nice weekend with lots of (inside) VW fun.

At the pace of multiple containers a week, our stocks are slowly reaching the levels we wanted them to be.
You, our customer, have the right of perfect infill. 

To spice it up a little we toss in several new parts too. 
Welcome to the BBT NEWS.

Unavailable for a longer period with no satisfying alternatives. 
So we had simply to  make it ourselves, exactly what we did.

We made our own late model Bay window bus brake booster. 
We guided the well willing factory through the project making exactly what we needed. 

Designed with the correct right-angle 14mm hose connection at the front,
 and an angled vacuum connection at the rear.

The perfect replacement with a price tag you will like even more
This is a proud BBT production. 

Early bay brake booster HERE

Beetle engine lid hinges.
Or at least the brackets holding them. 

Time for chrome is over for most part,
so we add them in black color.

At a slightly better price too. 
If you prefer them chromed, you can find HERE
25 & 30HP engines (that is 36 for our US friends) have a slightly different oil slinger on their crankshaft than later engines. 

Nowhere available and running out of NOS we tooled up and made the correct oil slinger available for the early engines. 

The oil slinger for the later engines HERE
In addition to the standard black nitrile seals (BBT 2110 & 2110-100), we now have them in red.
In Silicone we already had red for some time (BBT 2110-010)
The 25/30hp and 1200 engines have 20mm clips instead of 22mm.
We've had the 22mm for a long time (BBT 1603-250), but because they sometimes get lost during an engine rebuild, we now have the 20mm.
We used to have these 2 glasses from Hella, but unfortunately they are no longer available.
After a long search we found an alternative in these unbranded glasses.
These have a very favorable price with an even better QTY price.

KISS scored BIG with I was made for loving you in 1979.
Only a couple of years later BBT was made for loving VW parts.

We are glad to share our love for VW parts with all of you.
More parts, better parts, better quality, lower prices.

That has been our commitment since the beginning.
We do keep track!

Welcome to the BBT NEWS.
When VW introduced the 091-transmission on the VW BUS another mount was designed to hold the nose to the chassis.
The transmission being slightly longer, the "forks" on the 002-transmission nose mount were too long.

To make it all a perfect fit VW made the forks for the 091-transmission nose mount a little shorter.
This is not documented, no place.

We had to research a couple of dozen! original buses to figure it out.
But happy to share with all of you now.

Even more happy we can introduce the latest part of this family today.
The BBT 091 transmission nose mount, with correct length forks, is now available.

Get yours through the BBT dealer network, worldwide.
Our complete family of 002 & 091 transmission nose mounts HERE
More T25/T3/Vanagon taillights!
Our ever-popular stock taillights HERE gets family!

Tired of orange sections in your taillight? 
We now introduce  smoke and red in several combinations.

Pick your favorite and give that cool bus that cool look.
We made them available, choices are yours! 

These taillights take the HELLA type of bulb holders, 
These taillights will not replace ULO type of taillights.
This clamp secures the steering column and stays attached where it belongs down below.
We build an exact copy of the original.

Comes with correct bolt and self-locking nut. 
Another proud BBT production.
Jackpot! 
We stumbled on a (BIG) pile of NOS 22mm plugs.

Used in several applications.
Bus 72-79 rear valence (outer)


also, down B-Pillars on T25/T3/Vanagon
and in cab floor on an early Bay window bus

Of course, they will cover any other 22mm hole you need to cover.
More plugs will follow soon!

Too tired of existing inconsequent quality and fit we tooled up ourselves.
Resulting in the perfect buffer for your decklid.

Correct hardness, feel, grain, fit and even smell.
This feels original.

Your decklids never have felt any better resting on BBT buffers.
Small parts matters to us.
Every week more containers are coming in.
The decision to raise our inventory starts showing off!
