Are you for or against Covid vaccination?
Belgium is getting on cruise speed with vaccinations and even shifts higher.

If things continue this way we will over pass USA by half of next month…
Very weird, population of the northern Flemish part of the little country of Belgium is way better willing a shot as the southern French speaking part.

It’s hard to believe you be against a vaccination, when you know several vaccinations you get as a baby without a choice… probably soon that will be one extra.
Well you can be for or against vaccinations, but you can’t be against our BBT News and product information.

Let’s kick off this week with some new entries from Vintage Speed exhausts.
Since we do not produce our own Abarth style exhaust anymore we’re very happy we can offer this Vintage Speed replacement.

As all Vintage speed exhausts this is made 100% from Stainless Steel and engineered for best flow.
Abarth was an exhaust manufacturer originally from Italy who was quite successful to calculate and produce better as stock exhaust flows.

Abarth was the best Volkswagen exhaust money could buy back in the day, hence the choice for many period tuners like Okrasa and others.
For several car brands their design named the exhaust style.

For Volkswagen we call them pea-shooters in English because the 4 small exhaust tubes do look exactly as they can shoot peas out any moment…
So meet the Vintage Speed “Pea shooter” Abarth exhaust, available now from our shelves.

As a second Vintage speed introduction this week we like to present this exhaust very special designed for lowered buses with dual carburetors.
The Vintage Speed engineer did a great job engineering this exhaust.

Especially made for lowered buses build between 1960 & 1967 giving maximum ground clearance.
The tail pipe is hidden as well under the rear apron.

It’s a masterpiece and a relief for many bus drivers with lowered and very much lowered buses.

The same exhaust but for stock style carburator with pre heater set up you can find HERE
All Vintage Speed exhaust in our program you can find HERE

Next the new essential air filter element match perfect with all Vintage Speed exhausts.

Made from quality stainless steel, designed for improved air flow and totally fire retardant.
Don’t risk keeping that generic foam air filter and order our brand new fire retardant air filter elements

Next we have our dashboard grill sitting on the right side of your speedo of your 1958 and later Beetle.
We made this grill with the hole for the square mechanical fuel gauge.

Depending the year and model of your beetle they came originally with this hole.
Running out of used ones made us decide to make this grill brand new, exactly as original, and we succeeded.

Because of the quantity we produced we can guarantee a very very low price….
Proud BBT production.

Mechanical fuel guages can be found HERE with either beige or green back grounds.

They’ve been out for a while because we changed the production, but new production arrived last week.
A transmission or engine mount should not have any rubber covered mounting holes.

We made this bus engine mount in our new design.
Our mounting holes are only steel and totaly free of all rubber for perfect tension.

Mounting holes covered with rubber will loosen up the bolts one day or another….
Our new production came in last week and is available from the shelves

Beware for incorrect engine mounts, only trust BBT engine mounts!

Another exclusive BBT production engine mount came in last week…
Not happy with excisting reproductions we teamed up with our factory to bring you a better product.

This worked out incredible well actually, the product is EXACTLY like the original we started from..
Picture below shows an absolute original NOS example next to our new production…

Same steel thickness, same rubber lay out, same rubber composure, same everything.

Can You find any difference between these two? Because we don’t…..
