Just flip it over baby…

The whole town came out to watch…

Are we getting there?

Vaccination in Belgium rolled out well and getting about in cruise speed now.
Most of us, here @ BBT HQ, will be vaccinated during the month of June.

Good news also out of India, as they can re-open the industry next week after being closed over a month, completely!
It seems in most countries life crumble steady but slowly back to normal levels.

We hear even some VW shows will continue this summer.
Hopefully this war is over soon….

But the war for VW parts will never be won, hence we present you this week another pallet of new entries in our ever growing BBT program.

Started from absolute NOS ones BBT brings you the prefect copy for the 25/30 Din Hp (or 36 Hp Sae for our American friends) valve cover.
Made 100% identical with same sort a steel and on a specialized deep draw press for smaller parts.

We searched a while for the correct technologies and discovered this rather small but highly skilled press factory.
Still we had to refuse and correct a couple of pre-production samples before being on the right track.

We succeeded and are very happy with the result.
We couldn’t find any difference with an original, can you?

Fresh out of production and ready for delivery.

Taillights in your bay window bus have a small rubber on the top and bottom, to get your wires in, and keep water and humidity out.
Tired of using various sources with questionable quality most of the time we decided it was time to make our own.

The results are in the details, and after all struggles and corrections of the samples we’re extremely happy with the result.
These little rubbers makes you happy, and your taillights too!

Two models, one completely closed, and one with a hole for your electric wires. Every decent bay window taillight needs one of each.
You can change to both with a hole for example for a tow hitch electricity escape…

Because of the quantity made we offer a real good price with very cool quantity discounts.
Grab yours!

These door handles are locking and do come with two keys.

More on Vintage Speed this week is this perfectly shaped Stainless steel exhaust for 181 Kubel, Trekker Thing, Pescadore depending how you call the most square VW ever build.
We carried the version with the pre heat risers (for single carburetor set up) already longer time under BBT # 3280-400

Now we carry also the perfect exhaust when you decide to soup Da Thing up with dual carburetors.
This exhaust is made without the Pre heat risers, so gives a better fit and a smoother finish.

3280-401 Exhaust T181 – THING ‘Vintage Speed’ without pre-heat risers / Stainless steel

The next Vintage Speed exhaust we like to present in our BBT program for your T2 Bay window bus with upright engine (no Type 4 that’s right).
Comes with Pre heat risers so for single carburetor set up but with a hidden tail pipe.

As we all know, hidden tail pipes are made especially for lowered buses, to get more ground clearance….

3280-222 Exhaust – Bus 08/67-07/79 ‘Vintage Speed’ with pre-heat risers / Stainless steel – lowered, hidden tailpipe

We have also this week received quite a bit of back orders back in stock, some been out for too long and we’re happy we can offer again…

Ready for delivery on our shelves again.

Thank you for watching our News.

The BBT News team wish you a splendid spring weekend!

After a long seach with more as one death end we finally found the right manufacturer to make Oval window ignition switches for us.

A huge project for a little part…

We’re very picky so we will make with correct keycode and even correctly numbered keys by the VW books…

So sad VW don’t allow us anymore to make the key with the VW logo …..

But all will be interchangable with the original parts, also the keys….

We looking forward to this project.

How many parts an ignition switch has? Well count for every part at least one tooling….:)
