A second-round winter weather hits Western Europe.
Snow, ice and cold outside.
Inside BBT it’s cooking hot.
We keep on going with new products, more stocks, better infill….
On Friday we love bringing you our weekly update
Welcome to the BBT News.
Bus lovers, this week is exclusively to fix your front seats in your bus.
We start with the bracket to hold your early bench seat.
If not missing or frequently totally worn out.
We now offer a perfect replacement.
Also usable for walk through front seats, if you shape the C hole into a U form.

Same time we add the brackets to hold the front passenger seat -76 or the 2/3 bench -79 in your Bay window Bus.
Same as above but here double holes, in order to adjust the angle of the backrest a little.
Sold per pair

Bay window seat rails seem to bust several times.
Many times cut out for “replacement” seats from the Honda or Toyota donor out of the local junkyard.
Too many years of improper operating, dirt, dust, moisture and humidity take their tolls too.
Sitting on top of a rust sensitive wheel arch does not help life span neither.
No problem anymore, BBT now sells brand-new seat rails for your Bay window bus!
Sold as set, for one seat.
Contains both parts sitting on your body, the sliders sitting on your seat are NOT included.
0891-155 Seat rails set – Bus 08/67-07/76
Also available: 0891-157 Seat rails set – Bus 07/76-07/79
