Long time friend and real VW guy Woffe makes a couple of real nice sheet metal parts, I promised him a visit for many many years, finally I can take that from my bucket list…:)

Very welcoming when You enter the city of Gävle about 150km north of Stockholm…

Inside is a pretty impressive operation, with lots of jigs and measuring tools to check on his quality…

2018-06-29 10.04.29_resized

Very clearly this guy knows what he’s doing, and has a large aim for quality!

29 juin 2018 - NEW

This week we introduce some new parts for the Ghia friends and customers between us… we have found the bumper bracket covers!

These little metal box-shaped covers sitting right between your body and your bumper covering and bolted to the bumperbracket. Always rusty, bent, messed up or simply missing, this is a real good item if you’re restoring a Karmann Ghia up to 1971.

These covers are always painted in the lower body color of the car.

There are two different models for the front, one for Euro model bumpers and one for export type of bumpers with the towel rails. As for the rear there’s only one model.

These bumper bracket covers have been mounted with a rubber between the body. This rubber is already available under BBT ref  0085-190 (sold in pair, one piece per cover)

All bumper bracket covers are sold each.

0014-500  Bumper brackets cover front left – Karmann Ghia -07/71

0014-501 Bumper brackets cover front right – Karmann Ghia -07/71

0014-505 Bumper brackets cover front left – Karmann Ghia -07/71 Export (USA)

0014-506 Bumper brackets cover front right – Karmann Ghia -07/71 Export (USA)

0015-500 Bumper brackets cover rear left – Karmann Ghia -07/71

0015-501 Bumper brackets cover rear right – Karmann Ghia -07/71

Our first batch of 1000 6-volt regulators was finished beginning of the year… almost no remarks… hardly no returns, but the few returns we did have and the comments from our customers made us do a couple of updates on this cool product. Their  production took a little longer than expected, but we have a better product now! That’s always more important, at least to us it is.

The bracket on top that holds the cover is made a little longer, so you can’t bulge the cover anymore when you over-thight.  We had a couple of electronic updates too, so this is the perfect replacement 6 volt regulator, your original “BOSCH” cap can be still interchanged, so you keep the perfect look! A unique BBT feature!
