19 march 2021 - NEW
So is it March already?? Or almost April I hear you say?
So far we’ve had all sorts of weather already this year, in its truest forms.
Snow, heavy rain, storm, beach weather and we’re not even 3 months in the year, imagine…
With no clear outlook on what this year is going to bring,we want to ensure that here at BBT we keep things going with the same flow and routine.
Check out our weekly NEWS for the latest updates…
In our Silver Weld Through high quality sheet metal line for the split window bus, we received this week the rear suspension stop buffer.
Sometimes the easy looking parts are not the easiest to make, and this one was no exception.
It took us quite a while to finish as we wanted it.
Only used on late model split window buses we made this buffer exactly to factory specs.
Ready to install, to replace that rusty, crunchy, wrecked or missing buffer in your bus.
Or… to install on an earlier bus, to make sure you’re suspension never collapses to the end.
This buffer is the stop for our rubber BBT # 1459-20 what’s mounted on our suspension stop rubber holder BBT # 1459-250 & -251
We have this family of parts complete again….
Sold each.

We get many questions about our infill lately and although we’re trying to work harder as ever to get our supplies up to date, we cannot get manufacturers to fulfill their promises. Many manufacturers are not or only partially producing. Several countries struggle with raw materials. Ocean shipping is besides 2.5 times more expensive than before the pandemic, also a big mess worldwide with continuous delays, rerouting, lack of material and broken commitments.
As said we work daily overtime to try to straighten things out, but it will take a while before we’re back to normal stock levels….
This week container arrivals brought us some longer backorders we could fill our shelves with…
We’re happy to list some of them here for you.

We decided to tighten our engine bearing program a little bit.
If you’re looking for weird or XXL dimension engine bearings this might be your chance to save that too much oversized engine….
