Its friday again, and friday means NEWS time. Plenty of news again, but still the wild fires in Australia are taking more from our feelings away as stupid quotes from Mr Trump or Mr Johnson, nevertheless Johnson seems on the win in the new Brexit elections. The path is now that nobody wants out, and nobody likes to stay in anymore. Seems like many Brits are happy with the current Brexit status that “we will go out one day”, uh… weird folks… If they vote Johnson they will go out for sure, if they vote Corbyn there is a change they stay.. why don’t You stay British friends? Together we’re way stronger as on our own, we all know that, don’t we?

Well anyway, new products came in on our shelves this week, and they’re here defenitely to stay.

All to help to build a better and more accurate Volkswagen world.

The only reason we’re here for….

Out of our shop stocks we bring you BBT part n° 0551-550 the rear kick panels under your rear seat for all sedan beetles build after november of the year 1962.

Finally we have the correct seal between glass and frame for beetle vent wings .
We preformed this seal and is so much better as our economical BBT ref 0342 roll.

You do not need special tools anymore to assemble the glass into the frame, it just push in with some silicone spray.
When we first used these rubbers ourselves there was only one word popping up in our minds; a real revelation!

Nicely preformed rubber that fits perfectly around the glass and into the frame…
Some parts are making VW life so much more easy, well for sure this is one of them.

These rubbers make that just everybody can mount the vent wing glass easy, nicely and correctly into its frame now.
That’s something difficult we make so much more simple with just these rubbers.

Sold each. Three models to choose from.

We finally got our good German made brake shoes in stock again.

They’re back, after we refused two shipments because of quality issues (and we prefer not to sell parts as selling inferior parts).
Ready for immediate delivery.

We still believe we supply the very best brake shoe that’s currently on the market on a very competitive price.

Why? Simpel because ours brake shoes are really Made in Germany (not only packed as others), we use high-grade of brake lining and “brake in” EVERY shoe before packing. So we guarantee our shoes are in perfect radius of your brake drum as per original Volkswagen specs.

Nobody can beat that…
Several tests showed also BBT German brake shoe gave more brake power as any competitor…
