Do you feel the funk?
Let us go funky, VW funky!
In the middle of our European show season, BBT tries to attend as many shows as we can.
Find us this weekend in Wanroy Holland, or next week at 75 years of Bus in Hannover.
For us, it’s really important to be part of the Volkswagen life scene.
For inspiration, trends, follow up, feedback and specially to meet you, our friends, and our customers.
If you see us at an event, come up and say hi.
Give us feedback on what you experienced with BBT parts lately.
We just love to hear that.
We are here to learn, every day where we can improve.
As every Friday we present you today our new products for this week.
Welcome to the BBT News
Stainless mirror arms for your splitty bus are our choice.
More durability, harder, better, stainless seems like the right choice of material for hinge pins.
We now stock these brushed stainless mirror arms in standard 8mm diameter door hinge pins.
You can paint or polished to your choice if the brushed finish is not your favorite choice.

Welcome to BBT News.
This small 6mm inner diameter rubber grommet is a real important one.

What a wonderful world we are living in.
Ever asked yourself how many people and machines are working to make the light work when you switch it on when you wake up?
When you drive your classic car there’s other people in other cars next to you, moving, changing location….
Above our heads there’s airplanes, not a few, but many.
Our goods go and come from everywhere by boat, over the oceans.
Meanwhile we fill our lungs with air, breathing, so many times per hour.
The oxygen in the air makes our blood flow, while we work, eat or sleep.
We made ourselves a comfortable life, with time for things we feel like fun.
The most fun things you can do in life is tinkering your beloved Volkswagen.
Every week we bring you new parts and updates to make that tinkering even more enjoyable.
Welcome to the BBT News.
Longer time we fabricated and supplied our 6-volt regulator for 90mm 35Amp generator.
Volkswagen improved the 6-volt power circuit with a more powerful 105mm 50Amp generator before upgrade to 12-Volts.
The 50Amp 6-volt regulators are long time discontinued by Bosch or any other brand.
After developing, learning, using, and selling our BBT #1951 6-volt 35Amp regulators we bring now the 50Amp version.
6-volt 35Amp regulator mounts directly to the 90mm generator.
6-volt 50Amp regulators mount on the firewall or under your back seat, depending your car model.
Same electronic technology for our new 50Amp regulator as our BBT #1951 6-volt 35Amp regulator.
Our regulator caps are 100% interchangeable with the original Bosch cap, for that perfect authentic look.
Our regulators are fabricated by a factory producing thousands of regulators each month.
Our 6-volt 50Amp regulator can be used also on Porsche 356
1951-200 Regulator 6 volt / 50A (body) BBT
OE supply is not always a perfect solution.
We ran a production on the OE tooling of our BBT # 1482-52 what did not fit any modern axle booth.
Modern axle booths got an extra notch for strength and the torque distribution washer should go around that.
Our previous suppliers been happy to get us back on board and happily produced the perfect fitting torque distribution washers for us that fits old AND modern style axle booths.
Torque distribution washer for Beetle, Karmann Ghia and Type 3 models you can find HERE.
1480-52 Torque distribution washer (100mm) – Bus 08/67-07/92, Type181, Type4
We stumbled across a serious amount of NOS distributor caps and rotors for 34DIN Hp (40SAE for our American friends) 90mm distributors.
Various brands but stored well and in top condition.
Temporarily available, buy your spare parts now!
2007-150 Rotor for distributor 40hp ZV/PauR1 -R2 – R3 -R4 – R5 – R6 (90mm distributor cap) NOS
