31 january 2025 - NEW

The last day of the first month of the new year.
New Year wishes are made.

New years dishes are digested.
But our promises stay firm.

We will bring you more and better VW parts
For a better price too.

We keep our VW lifestyle alive!
Welcome to the BBT NEWS.
More Splittie Bus SWT metal news!
We now present  the late model "toolbox" under your front seat.

There are two models for the toolbox.
Changing together with the bulkhead in 1963.

The early toolbox is  already longer time available HERE
The late model runs further to the bulkhead

Comes with two loose reinforcement plates on the underside.
Karmann Ghia lovers we bring you a complete door panel set.
Including the cool molding, just like original.

Full set is for KG Coupe.63-
For KG convertible 63- you only use the front panels.

Door panels for your Beetle HERE
Brand new coil clamps for Type 4 engines in a late bay window.
These coils are fixed totally different as on a Type 1 engine.

On a Type 4 you have to take the coil off for getting the engine out of the car.
Hence many original clamps are bent or simply lost and missing.

We give you a perfect brand new clamp, exactly like original.
We add extra cap for our switch knob BBT # 0636-970
This knob is originally used on Bay window bus, T25/T3/Vanagon  and 181/Thing/Trekker.

BBT # 0636-975 cap does not have any logo, for diff-lock on a T25/T3/Vanagon Syncro.
Can be used also for an extra switch or if you don't want any logos.

BBT # 0636-973 is the cap for the wiper/washer switch for Bus 08/67-07/72
This cap operates the window washer as well.

The knob and all its caps HERE
The BBT Westy tent is in production and close to return.
We  already bring the original Tenax fasteners.

Tenax is the most powerful "clip-on" fastener.
Used on original Westy tents, and many more applications.

Also useful for any convertible or speedster application.
Simply where two soft materials need to be regularly, but not permanently, connected.

For correct installation we add also the small Tenax Key.
Tenax is a trademark and only produced by the original manufacturers.
The washers for Type 1 rocker arms are now back available.
Should be changed at every engine rebuild.

No longer available from Volkswagen, forced us to start our own production.
The OE manufacturer was friendly and helpful to start up a new production.

Quantities have been huge to get a good price and we succeeded.
Another production came to an end and made quality parts back available.
Lets renew our new years promises and keep them forever.
BBT News Team wishes you a relaxed weekend.

24 january 2025 - NEW

Do you feel the funk? 
Long cold grey overcasted winter days in Western Europe

You would feel the funk for less than that.
But our Volkswagens come to rescue.

Turning a smile on your face every time you enter your garage or your shop.
Let us help you to give your Volkswagen the life it deserves.

Make you happier every time you look at it.
Better parts, less hassle.

Welcome to the BBT NEWS.
With real proud we introduce today our small spline bus brake drum.
This brake drum fits to your "small nut" rear axle.

To make the splines in a brake drum you need a special spline tool.
To make brake drum splines this tool is around 2 meters long.

Brand new BBT brake drums have been made with our own brand new spline tool.
Made to dimensions of 100% new (NOS) splines.

Most spline tools still around are worn and out of dimension.
Our large spline tool is finished as well (see product updates here below)

BBT continiously makes more brake drum models 
We follow up the process completely, foundry, machining and packaging.

More models will be launched soon.
When Bosch ceased production of their 12 Volt coil we started our own research.
Getting our knowledge and tooling up with a company producing only.... coils.

Partnering with a real good engineering company, today  we bring you a better coil on the market.
Because of our own production and the quantities involved we offer real old-skool prices.

Life gets more expensive?
BBT makes VW parts cheaper!

Tested and approved on several cars of the BBT crew members.
When it's good and working for us we're happy to share with you.

Get that spark right for optimal combustion
BBT quality spark plugs HERE
We add two more interior rear-view mirrors.
Our 56-67 beetle rear-view mirrors are exactly like original.

Chrome base with aluminum glass holder.
Complete BBT rear-view mirror line HERE
The last pieces of the puzzle.
1303 Super Beetle lovers this one is for you.

BBT now offers  all and every single piece for your 1303 Supe Beetle blower motor.
You can either replace your broken or worn out parts, or just (re)place completely.

The complete blower system list;

BBT # 0663-120 Blower engine
BBT # 0785-50 Rubber mount (You need 3 pcs)
BBT # 0785-510 Rubber, Blower motor mount plate (you need 1 pc)
BBT # 0785-520 Blower motor mount plate (you need 1 pc)
BBT # 0785-530 Rubber connecting hose (elbow)
BBT # 0663-025 Blower motor switch 
VW beetle pre 1960 body is fixed with two bolts under the rear seat.
Later models use only one bolt.

These bolts help holding your body to your chassis.
Between body and chassis sits a rubber shock pad.

The bolt(s) go through this rubber pads.
For the two bolt pre 1960 model we now add  the correct rubber pad.

All BBT body to chassis shock pads HERE
Our two brand new spline tools (small and large) have now been used on existing BBT drums and hubs.
Both spline tools have been made on 100% NOS rear axles.

Perfect fit and long life guaranteed.
Some new and updated BBT drums and hubs already arrived.

More BBT drums and hubs are  coming soon!
Stay out of that funk.
Ignite your spark and brake with our new splines.

BBT News Team wishes you a VW-happy weekend.
