I hope all BBT Blog readers are as interested as I am in production processes,

I was very happy I could see part of the weaving of a new production upholstery material for SO34 Westfalia. I’m even more happy I can share these pictures with you, its pretty impressive,

For those who don’t know, we let weave the 4 styles early Westfalia fabrics in a period correct way to create same feel, style and looks like back in the day. No compromise!

We’re still looking for a decent sample of early Westfalia curtains, (the yellow one with that special ribble in it) (NOS or as close as we can get) to make a perfect reproduction in period materials and weaving Technics as well.

Enjoy the pictures, and look for the end result!

coloring teh materials is a process on its own…

spools enough?

this is pure experience, not for the faint at hearted!

first weaving process finished

ready to start to real production now….

in the second and final step the square treats are weaved in , the material is coming from above, imagine this goes ate a relatively high speed!

more spools….

wowh!

now how impressive is this?

In our race to reproduce the rear valence of the 1968-1974 beetle in a decent quality we came around this little stash of NOS ones, made by VW in Mexico in the seventies, this is the only one that really fit on the market at this moment whatever money can buy….

This fits, this is Original Volkswagen, so no questions to ask….

Part nrs written loooong time ago….

1978….. that’s how old these are, and when they came in stock in the wholesale dept we bought it from….

A little stash, nicely packed… We used some to create a serious reproduction, but that is in research and tooling dept now, will take another 6 to 12 months to complete…

Are you ready to get a real NOS rear valence? just email me on Bob@BBT4VW.com

Last week another truck load of VW buses left deep inland USA to our shipper in Los Angeles.

We do find them, don’t we?
