European Bug In was a blast.
Last weekend the quaint town of Chimay was simply invaded by classic Volkswagens.
Grandstand filled up completely several times to watch the races.
BBT booth ran full force whole weekend long.
Despite the (heavy) rains on Saturday evening it was a top edition!
Another proof Classic Volkswagen scene is alive and kicking.
More motivation to bring you more and better parts.

While we used to offer each, we change now to sets of eight pieces.
As you need all eight for one engine anyway.
One quantity gives you eight nuts.
Easier to order, easier for the factory to pack.
These collared connecting rod nuts are authentic in every detail.
Exactly like original. Made in Germany.
New sharp pricing.
