Did you go to a VW show lately?
You should.
It is amazing how nice people build their cars these days.
Always better, nicer, and more accurate.
Be it stock or modified.
BBT is proud to be part of our Volkswagen world.
We do not stop developing nor adding parts to our lines.
This week no different.
Welcome to BBT News.
Karmann Ghia’s are cool cats.
We decided to expand our line of Ghia parts extensively.
This week we add the aluminum profiles that hold the rubber seal between body and side windows.
Pre bent for easy installation.
Sold as complete set of six pieces for one car.
Rubber between this trim & body and around pop outs HERE
Rubber between this trim and glass HERE
0759-189 Window seal trim (set) – Karmann Ghia 09/59-07/71
T25/T3/Vanagon gets attention as well.
We add this little dust cap.
Sits on the outside of the rear bolt of your rear trailing arm.
Looks a lot like a wheel bolt cap (HERE) but much shorter.
1378-312 Cap on bolt trailing arm rear – Bus 05/79-08/92
More people want to make their cars like they left the factory.
We add more parts to help.
These carpet rings are a nice touch on that path.
Every carpet kit should have these rings, but manufacturers leave them out often to save on cost.
Sitting at foot level, something you look at often.
You can now put your own rings in your existing carpets.
Gain that looks of originality!
Rings up to 1952 been longer time in our range HERE
0540-080 Foot heater rings – Beetle 04/52-07/55 (pair)
0540-090 Foot heater rings – Beetle 008/55-07/64 (pair)
There is no secret BBT has a close relationship with our Italian friends from the Rhibo/Maxicar factories.
BBT helped out Rhibo/Maxicar several times in the past.
Happy to help when Rhibo/Maxicar asked for help to improve their sloping headlight fenders.
We shipped them a pair of original fenders to adjust the heights of headlight bucket and horn grills.
They adjusted their tooling (not simple on an old over-used tooling) and succeeded.
Helping the project they choose BBT to tell the VW world about their improvements.
We are happy to announce we received our first load of the adjusted fenders.
Upon close inspection the headlight buckets and horn grill holes are properly lined out now.
Being part of the project, we received the very first production run now, ready for delivery.
Maxicar/Rhibo fenders are close to 06/60-07/67 fenders.
BBT fenders up to June 1960 also back in stock HERE

0105 Wing front right -07/67

Western Europe had some really nice, cozy and warm spring weather lately.
Our beloved classics leave their winter barns and start cruising.
BBT tries to help to make that cruising’ as smooth as it gets.
Our parts are made for our own Volkswagens.
A love and passion we’re glad to share with all of you!
Welcome to the BBT NEWS.
Bus seats are important to carry your passengers the safe way.
Quality of hardware for middle and rear seats went down a LOT by most suppliers.
As our regular long-time suppliers let us down, we had to find alternatives.
We teamed up with other people in the VW industry understanding our needs.
We are proud to launch today real cast iron middle and rear seat mounting hardware.
Exactly as original that is!
We all know that quality comes at a price, we choose safety first!
After all these seats carry your beloved ones, just imagine!
Clamps for 67 and later buses come with a notch, to keep them in place.
Here your seat frame has holes to receive that notch.
Measurements are from bottom to the top surface where the (wing)nut comes.
The correct T-shape bolt made by the OE manufacturer you find HERE

8072-220 Clamp for rear seat – Bus 08/66-07/79
Besides the four well known different clamp models there is a number five as well.
Volkswagen books and literature are incomplete and vague,
We had to discover by research on original buses.
Used in standard buses up to 67 delivered without rubber mat.
As this application does not use BBT 8072-040 mounting plate the clamp is made higher.
Choose your clamps for perfect fit and transport your beloved ones the safe way.

Now we offer the rubber for these stationary rear quarter windows.
Sold by the pair.

We improved quality on our 60-71 Karmann Ghia pop-out seals.
