Happy Sunday!

Massive arrivals of goods keep on rolling in.
Receiving dept. is bursting.

We’re really getting to our target point of doubling our inventory since Covid.
Our warehouse is loaded with parts for our beloved Volkswagens ready for delivery.
We’ve never ever had more, not even close!

More arrivals mean less backorders, but also that economy is cooling down.
The perfect time to invest in a classic car and no better than a classic car value

A Volkswagen, right?
Are we looking to a new peak in our little hobby?

Or will the perfect mix of inflation, material shortness, energy and climate crisis create the perfect storm and make our hobby unaffordable for many?

Nobody can tell today, we have to see it as 50% chance of opportunities.
As weather forecast never knows, neither do we….

What we do know is that we have some new products to present today with many more to come in upcoming weeks, really massive!
Stay tuned and follow us!

Bay window buses, T2 for many, have the window washer bottle behind the front panel  with its filler neck sticking out of the kick panels.
On this filler neck belongs this cap or cover.

All bay windows came with this cap from the factory, also standard combis and all utilities.
Many times missing or cracked we now bring back this cap, so you can finish that bay window in style.

These caps come with very attractive quantity pricing, check it out!

The needle valve is an important part of your carburetor cutting off fuel supply when there’s enough.
Malfunction can give serious trouble with carbs running over and spilled gas can catch fire, burning down your complete vehicle!

We decided to offer the needle valve also separately, apart from our carburetor rebuild kits and choose the best quality market has to offer.
Fits most Type 1 and Type 3 carburetors from split window beetle till production moved to fuel injection in Mexico.

Sold each and  comes with its proper gasket.

Another project came to a happy end this week when our brand new made 52-54 dome light switches arrived.
After we went through all the inventory from an old supplier, with steep rise in price, untill they came completely obsolete in 2018.
We decided the market deserved better and tooled up again.

We made them with the teardrop hole for the bottom.
For the back we choose very carefully the correct screws for flat screwdriver.
Even when you don’t see those, we thought they deserved to be period correct.

Used in beetle as dome light (interior light) switch in the A -pillar from 10/52 up to 07/54.
On beetle convertibles up to 07/64 VIN 6502 399 also situated behind the right side rear quarter window, between headliner and hood.
Here to switch out the dome light (interior light) when hood frame is down to prevent the dome light (interior light) start melting or burning your headliner!

The BBT 2022 summer stickers are our answers on the stupid Russian invasion in Ukraine.
We handed out hundreds during Open House and on Hessisch Oldendorf and European Bug In.

So where did you stick our sticker? All pictures of stickers very welcome!

The most northern BBT sticker must be with Hanna Holm, she built her bus with her father Hans Holm.
Her lovely bus lives close to the polar circle up North in Sweden….
