Nothing more unpredictable as Western European weather.
One hour nice and warm, next raining and windy.
We've seen it all this summer, or was it just this week?
The only good thing about unpredictable weather?
Perfect garage time!
Wrench that VW beauty, finish that project!
And when the weather allows, take it for a spin.
BBT parts are here to help.

The inspection cover covers the hole to remove your shift rod.
We add the gasket for the Type 3 inspection cover today.
For the Beetle inspection cover, you can find the gasket HERE
Sealing your frame head inspection cover is very important to keep water and dust out of your tunnel.
Only for non-blower fresh air boxes.
The foam gaskets help the shut off valves to control fresh air flows to your dashboard.
When foam gaskets are missing, or worn-out, fresh air keeps on blowing out of your dashboard.
We add now self-locking spindle nuts for 63-67 Split window bus.
These self-locking spindle nuts replace the double-nut & thrust-washer system.
Perfect for a more accurate and easier front wheel bearing adjustment.
Comes in one pair, one for the left and one for the right side.
