The BBT News team wish you a very happy weekend…

What a wonderful world we’re living in.
Nothing more interesting than people, especially what they do, say or create.

We try to create more and better parts for your Classic Volkswagen.
As every week we like to present you our latest catch.

Back in the day when we needed a replacement central tunnel bottom plate, we just went to the junk yard and cut one out, or killed another kind a donor.

With all Volkswagens being “saved and restored” these days donors become scarce.
This search is over now as we bring you a perfect replacement part.

Age as an enemy, cars get older, wear and rust are simply getting worse.
Whenever your beloved beetle used to have a leaking master cylinder, chances are real you will need a central tunnel bottom plate one day.

With  a total length of 128cm pressed to exact form and dimensions in strong 2mm steel to the correct model for a perfect fit and finish.
A perfect copy from the original made by a small but very passionate manufacturer.

Will fit all Beetles, Type 14 Ghia’s and Type 181/Trekker/Thing , but will not fit 1302/03 super beetles. Sold each.

Bottom plates for frame heads you find HERE

A rattling tailgate rod on BBT Pascal’s own 1962 panel van made us make the original rubber to prevent this irritating noise.

Every 55-63 bus or panel van came from the factory with this small rubber protecting the tailgate rod from rattling during driving.
Unfortunately, most of these rubbers have been long time gone.

Later on Volkswagen used the same rubber on the handle of the central heater divider valve handle down below at your feet in 64 to 72 buses, panel vans and pick-up trucks.

Will fit also all Brazilian made Kombi with small tailgate up to 1992.

Double purpose use made us pay some extra attention to make this rubber to correct dimensions.
Now available from our shelves, sold each.

On top of every 1961 and later steering box are two small white plugs keeping the oil grease mixture inside and dust and dirt outside.
We now bring you these little but necessary plugs.

Will fit all 1961 and later steering boxes on beetles, Type 14 & 34 Ghia’s, Type 181/Trekker/Thing and the entire Type 3 family. Will fit also 1302/03 Super beetles up to 1974 model year.

Will not fit any year VW Buses or 1302/03 super beetles with rack and pinion steering.

Sold each and you will need two per car.

BBT News team wishes you a wonderful and creative weekend.

Let’s treat you with another BBT News today, it’s Friday after all.

After a lot of research and even more development we finished the transmission mount for the nose of your bay window transmission 1972 on.

For 72-79 buses there are two different mounts.
In our research we found out that 002 transmissions have a different nose mount than 091 transmissions.

The forks from the transmission nose mount for 002 transmissions are slightly longer.
If you use a 091 nose mount on a 002 transmission the forks do not completely fill up the bracket on the chassis.

This is quite easy to explain as the 091 transmission is slightly longer than its 002 predecessor.
091 and 002 transmissions are easy recognizable by the VW numbers on the transmission starts with either 002 or 091.

Weird thing is that Volkswagen uses the same part number for both, just superseded 002 transmission nose mount with the 091 one.
We bring back both models, with a different BBT number.

002 transmission nose mount is now ready and presented on picture below.
091 Transmission nose mount is in production as we speak and will become soon available.

Mounting brackets to mount these 72-79 transmission nose mounts are the same for both models HERE
Proudly BBT production on private tooling.

1972-1979 Bay window buses use specific nuts to adjust their emergency brake cables.
These specific nuts are square and bent fit for a13mm wrench.

The bent side is made to secure and stay in place, easy and effective.
No lock nut needed.

BBT brings back this original style bent nut produced on our private tooling.

We also finished this shift rod boot for T25/T3/Vanagon.
T25/T3/Vanagon uses two different shift rod boot, early and late.

79-82 T25/T3/Vanagon used to have a smaller diameter shift rod use a boot with a smaller diameter center hole.
Obsolete for years BBT decided to bring those back.

Early T25/T3/Vanagon have the right on their own correct parts too!
Sold each, proudly BBT producion on private tooling.

We upgraded later model shift rod boot as well what can be found here below.
