What a week we had @ BBT HQ.
Never ever we received so many goods at the same time.
Long backorder list melted as snow in the sun.
Our infill went up with close to 10% in a week.
New products came in as well.
We are happy to present them here, now and in the upcoming weeks.
Welcome to BBT News.
After the last Brazilian OE producer stopped production, we had to find new sources.
The 56-64 Volkswagen Beetle deserved its proper emergency brake boot.
More off, besides a rather poor quality, the Brazilian boot had the wrong grain.
But it did the job, kind off, even only available in black color.
Any longer available meant we simply had to team up with the producers from our split and oval emergency brake boots.
After a lot of trials and errors we’re very happy with our final result.
Specially to find the correct surface grain we had to redo the tooling several times.
Persisting, we found a company that could etch the tooling correctly.
Exactly the grain used by the German Volkswagen factories.
Finishing our own tooling meant we could choose colors!
Black being available before but was only correct for Standard and Brazilian made beetles.
So now we made them correctly in grey for perfect finish of any German made deluxe or export model 55-64 beetle.
The black colored ones are at the same time back available with correct surface grain.
Proud of this production, we finished them with a small BBT logo and OE part number on the underside.

NATO/OTAN top in Vilnius showed a united Europe.
Nothing is nicer as being united.
Love peace and understanding.
The hippies taught us in the sixties already.
They preached it, using VW buses going everywhere.
Respect for the VW bus, no other car united so many people as the VW bus.
No new Bus parts today.
