Welcome to the BBT NEWS
Our weekly update on what's new to make our VW life a better one.
Ready to explore?
Just scroll down.
Early beetles had/have a round steering coupler between steering box and steering column.
BBT makes this correct model now available.
These early steering couplers built up in layers, exactly as original.
Vintage freaks, your way to more correctness.
Later models
HERE have the same bolt pattern but a square design.
These handles sit on the A-pillar on the passenger side.
For all T25/T3/Vanagon buses.
Also, at the rear near the headliner.
To provide a good grip for getting in and out of the car.
Two colors available, black or brown.
Exact copies from original
Handles are sold each.
Spacers under the handles on the A-pillar are sold in pairs.
BBT now supplies correct valve guides for your Type 4 engine.
We added the valve guide for the 9mm exhaust valve stem.
The valve guide for the 8mm inlet valve stem
HERE
What you do yourself, you do best.
Hence we made this rubber for Bay Window sliding door lock catches ourselves.
Overpriced for rather poor quality made us tool up ourselves.
The result turned out nice.
Now available at never-seen low prices.
We make it better and cheaper; that is our goal.
More cool backorders arrived last week.
Keep the VW faith.
BBT NEWS TEAM wishes you a wonderful weekend.

This booth is now available from our shelves.
More T25/T3/Vanagon news.
Because of its position (left side under the cab floor) the window washer tank gets a hard life.
Especially in Syncro buses almost all need replacement.
We now bring you brand new window washer tanks for T25/T3/Vanagon at a very affordable price.

Let us help you keep your windshield clean with our super easy electric conversion kit.
Put the little pump in your window washer line,
wire a ground wire and connect the positive to your fuse box interrupted with the supplied push button.
That is it, all you need is in the kit and make your VW life so much easier.

Welcome to BBT NEWS
Our weekly update what's new @ BBT for you.
This week we talk Engine Main Bearings.
After 25 nice years of cooperation it was very hard to leave Sintermetal when they seized production.
To replace we found Mahle Metal-Leve in Brazil as perfect alternative.
As their European distributor for the air-cooled line Mahle Metal-Leve was very happy to help.
We started several productions for missing dimensions.
More sizes starting to arrive now on a regular base.
Once we replace the Sintermetal size with Mahle Metal-Leve we add the Mahle logo in our catalogs.
Mahle Metal-Leve are perfect plain aluminium engine bearings,
perfect for stock or standard engines.
Steel backed main bearings will arrive soon too from Mahle Clevite out of Mexico.
They will replace our line of Silverline main bearings for High-Performance engines.
Mahle Metal-Leve was kind enough to bring back the main bearing for early WBX engines.
These main bearings for WBX engines up to 1986.
Standard on the case we stock three different crank sizes.
WBX Main bearings after 1986
HERE.
Nobody stocks more Main Bearing for air-cooled VW engines sizes as BBT
We add four new sizes.
