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.
