We also had a new load of Convertible chassis strengtheners came in, we sell these so many, never realized there was so many convertibles still around. Quality is second to none, or just s comparable as OE. we supply to models;

We have another big news to tell…  BBT do stock from now on the real reproduction of Banana bumpers used on beetles pre 1949! we got front and rear bumpers and the horns, on request we also can supply the chrome version… many years obsolete we thought we had to bring these back. stamped out of one piece there is nothing coming closer to the real deal…. No BBT part number, but available from our shop. just ask; “Banana’s”…:)

Easter Holiday was also the start to move our NOS dept. we still carried a large NOS room in our old building… move is slow and though, but one day we make it! Cylinder heads have made it to their new location already, fancy for NOS cylinder heads? 1.2 or 1.3 single port or others? You name it we probably got some…

Another week, another friday, today is BBT’s product day…. and we seleceted some real nice stuff for you.

Goods in, unpacked ready to go to the shelves… busy as always…

We received the backing plates back in stock for beetle 67 and later, @ the rear.
