The German Disaster Response Team or “Katastropheneinsatzgruppe” and/or “Technisch Hilfwerk” used Volkswagen buses from early age… a proof is this barndoor bus working at a flood “im einsatz”…..

Don’t we all love early pictures….

Enjoy your Sunday!

Last week we shipped this cool VW Beetle to Switzerland for our friends of Kieft en Klok…

Fancy a cool VW ride like this visit www.Kieftenklok.nl

Times are a-changing was the song that becomes reality now.
Several of these changes might be staying… for always… partially or completly….

Do we realize this? Do we all realize this?
@ BBT we at least try to, and foresee the future.

That means more new products, more inventory and a closer cooperation with our manufacturers.
Our historic low stocks should never happen again….

There’s a bunch of containers expected next week in the Port of Antwerp… we hope customs will be easy and  our infill rate will dramatically raise  within 2-3 weeks…finally…

For this week we scored some nice and cool new products we’re happy to present you…

Because out of popular demand we now bring you the later cargo door hinges for your favorite splittie bus separately.
Perfect reproduction signed by Da-Houze for you.

Get rid of those old worn out or bend hinges and replace with these top quality BBT reproductions.
We already stocked the cargo door hinge for early model and now we have the whole family complete. As we’re family people we like our families to be all together.

All cargo door hinges you can find HERE

0156-840 Door hinge cargo front upper/rear lower (door right) – Bus 12/60-07/67 SWT

0156-850 Door hinge cargo front lower/rear upper (door right) – Bus 12/60-07/67 SWT

We had these fasteners for your VW type 181, Trekker or Thing already longer time in our shop program, but now we bring  them  in our wholesale program.
These fasteners are mounted on your windshield frame, just to keep your hood closed.

Because of their rather poor construction they  are simply worn out or break too fast.
We offer you the perfect solution, so your hood won’t blow open anymore during driving.

Every part number exists out of a hook and a catch for one side, for a complete car you need two sets.

Building our line of complete generator accessories, many parts will come in our program, early pulleys, hardware… we have it all in development.
This is one of the first results. After studying too many samples that didn’t pass our tests, we found this one as the best on the market and it comes with an acceptable price too.

This is the ring between the nut and the outer pulley half on your generator/alternator.
We have this in perfect reproduction, exactly like original, in nice thick steel. Our ring also features a wide contact surface.

This is necessary to push your outer pulley half on to the inner pulley half providing a correct tension on your V-belt.
Our generator pressure ring fits all alternators and generators from 1955 and up on all type 1 and type 3 engines.

The generator/alternator pulley shims (to adjust V-belt tension) you can find HERE

We updated our BBT made ignition leads.
The BBT ignition leads came already longer time with real copper core.

We made our ignition leads  with a correct thickness, so they fit perfectly in your “snappers” on your cooling fan.
We didn’t make ignition leads in silicone, but in the original plastic rubber combination to get that authentic look.

Today we’re proud to announce that after buying a zillion kilogram of brown powder, we finally managed to get our spark plug caps (or connector whatever you want to call them) produced in correct brown Bakelite color.

Anytime soon our ignition leads will come in its special designated box.
Nothing comes even close to BBT original ignition leads. A perfect set of ignition wires, for a right price!

BBT proudly made our ignition leads in Brazil, and we have very good quantity price available.
In this same serie we also have a type 4 ignition wires with brown spark plug caps you can find them HERE

2045 Standard copper wires

Bearings, bearings and bearings.. a good quality set is key for the longevity of your engine, especially when you’re building the earlier 25hp motor.
