Some new rubbers for T25/T3/Vanagon, and a  new production for split window beetle parts.
This week we show that we cover all volkswagen models that came with air-cooled engines.

Very early till very last models, we might have the parts you need.
Let us introduce you to our new “harvest” of this week.

Welcome to BBT News.

T25/T3/Vanagon Syncro models have a completely different fuel tank and filler set up than  their regular brothers.
The gas tank being in the back, makes that the filler neck moved also to the rear part of your ride.

Kept in place with a rubber to its bracket to avoid unnecessary vibrations and a precise fit.
We now bring you  this very specific rubber for the Syncro filler neck.

Another proud BBT production to get these rubbers in an excellent quality at a fair price.

Beside our premium brake drum line from OMC, we also work hard on our house brand brake drums.

For 2024, we plan significant expansion of our range private label brake drums.

Battery cover mounting kits for your split window beetle or barndoor bus, we sold out too long ago, are BACK!
We had to make brand new tooling as the old tooling was badly stored.

Quiet a challenge but we succeeded again and finished this project.
Making these necessary items back available.

We updated our 4 Watt bulbs for parking lights.
Because the wrong design of the old badge where the collar plied outside, they did not fit early reflectors.

We changed that design and are now happy to offer these with a perfect fit for all headlight reflectors.
Plenty of stock and cool quantity breakdowns.

Buy yours now.

The BBT products train doesn’t stop going on, no, it doesn’t slow down.
There’s a lot in the pipeline for 2024!

We take a flying start with that.
Welcome to BBT news.

When VW do Brazil quits production for the door check rod for bay window buses a mere 10 years ago, supply dried up soon.
With no sources left BBT decided to team up and start our own production.

This was not an easy one and took us four years to finish as we wanted it.
We needed the right tension on the spring, the correct looks, the prefect density on the rubber and many more details to be correct at once.

Another BBT exclusively made with proud for you.

We add a third quality of floorplates for beetle.
Our Economy floor plate too thin, our OE Quality too expensive for many.

We teamed up with IGP and bring you this 1mm thick floor plate with a better paint finish right in between.
We care for your Volkswagen from the bottom up!

The 1968 model year was one of these model years the beetle had loads updates.
One update was the fuel tank breather.

The rubber that connects the breather pipe with the fuel tank during first 6 months for the 68-model year was discontinued and VW already changed the design after 6 months.

BBT tooled up and brings back this specific 6-months only rubber.
High quality, with correct dimensions, made after a German NOS part.
