BBT Nicolas organised a mini convoy with 12 cars on Sunday morning for a cool drive to the show.

Lier is the city of the Zimmer tower, the drive up passed the icon and landmark

The show was cool, lay back and fun!

Apal Jet, weird buggy!

Cool to see a hyper clean NSU RO80, full member of the organising club!

Here some idea’s how you can transport your Volkswagens to the next VW show…

Happy Sunday!

Natural gas price keeps on moving up in Europe, but not so in the rest of the world.
One of the reasons for that seems the fact you can’t transport gas that easy in necessary volumes.

Well we can transport Classic Volkswagen parts in any quantity you desire as that’s what we’re set up to.
Let us show you what’s new so you can include in same transport….

It’s Friday, welcome to the BBT news.

Bay window and T25/T3/Vanagon bus brake calipers are held with two bolts to your spindles.
What looks like “just two bolts” are very specific designed solutions for this application.
Upper and lower bolts are different to start with.

As we couldn’t find what we needed, we tracked down the original manufacturer and struck a deal for a brand new production.
Huge quantities but finally back available at a decent price.
Made to factory specs, Metric class 10.9 what corresponds with Imperial Grade 8 for necessary strength required.

Finally we can mount bay window bus brake calipers back as it should.
Check our quantity pricing!

Our full range of bay window and T25/T3/Vanagon bus brake calipers you can find HERE

Since August of 1950 the Volkswagen factory offered a ragtop as an option on any new beetle sold.
For deluxe models Ragtops have been available till July 1963. VW changed over to a steel sliding roof from August 1963 on.

Standard models had ragtops as an option till 1967. In a standard you could never get a steel sliding roof.
Ragtops had specific rails made out of highly polished extruded aluminum to let glide your rollers to open your canvas.

As a major “VWSunroofs” brand distributor BBT now offers  their high quality sunroof rails for all different model year ragtops.
Three different models of rails for beetles, and two for bus, depending your model year, you can chose HERE

Are your rails being bend, corroded or simply missing? BBT has now the perfect solution

All “Sunroof” parts for VW ragtops you can find HERE

Early taillights  suffer many times malfunctioning because  worn out, corroded over used bulb holders.
After years of special ordering we finally decided we would follow these bulb holders in order to develop the rest of the taillights.

Knowing BBT we upgraded all early bulb holders in order to hold dual filament bulbs.
Easy to make indicator or brake light inside your original taillight.

Your safety doesn’t need to compromise with the correct looks anymore.
We stocked bulb holders for 56-60 beetle taillights already longer time HERE

We now add up to 1952 for split window beetles, 52-55 for heart taillights and also the very unique 54-55 US spec only “egg” model taillight brackets.

0626-310 Taillight bulb holder – Beetle -10/52 (pair)

 0626-410 Taillight bulb holder – Beetle 52-55 (pair)

 0626-450 Taillight bulb holder – Beetle USA only 54-55 (pair)

VW engines up to 1960 (and standard models up to 1965) had a very specific oil pressure sender.
It is kind a big for what it is and dominates part of your correct engine compartment looks.

Nothing correct available for years we supplied just a regular oil pressure switch with a screw terminal.
This has now changed  as one of Bob’s lockdown projects gave birth to this 100% correct early oil pressure switch.

Finally a perfect solution to replace that wrongly looking late model oil pressure switch peaking in your eyes every time you open your engine lid, these days are over!
Perfect reproduction developed and manufactured through reverse engineering from absolute NOS models by a  highly specialized high end pressure sender factory.

Oil pressure switch and derivate for later model rear engine Volkswagens you find HERE

Massive amounts of “ENGLE” camshafts arrived last week.
Long time very limited available because of raw material shortness at the casting plant.

BBT is the largest ENGLE camshaft distributor outside the USA.
Discover our full range ENGLE camshafts HERE

The BBT team wishes you a well-deserved relaxing weekend. Part of our team will be at the VW show in Lier, some other @ Hangaarz or Chateaux D’Oex (Switzerland) step up and say hi when you see one of us, we might buy you a beer!
