A war always has many different sides.
Before all a war is a disaster and a human tragedy.

There is also the technological revolution every war brings.
Before all a war brings emotions, reflections and a lot of food for thought, WHY?

The war between Russia and Ukraine should make us think about all other wars in the world.
Syria, Tigray, Yemeni, and many others, no headline news, but no less human tragedy.

After all the centuries of “civilization” there are still leaders that don’t get it and see power still above humanity, what a shame for the last.
Yesterday all leaders of Western countries and Japan gathered in Brussels, Nato/Otan, EU and G7 summits all in one day,  discussing the war.

Brussels was yesterday the most dangerous place in the world, military target number one, worldwide, by far.
Thanks God it didn’t happen, just imagine!

What did happen last week was another round of new additions to the BBT product range.
Reading Bob’s last trip report to Brazil with many more interesting products to come.

Welcome to our weekly news, we hope you enjoy.

Regarding what we offer on complete lock sets man can tell we don’t like too many different keys in our pockets.
One key fitting all is our aim for peace of mind and more easy motoring.

We like to share the same feeling  for the T25/T3 Vanagon owners.
We bring you 3 different locking sets for T25/T3 Vanagon covering all years to be operated with one key for all doors and gates.

That makes a total of a mere two keys, one for the ignition and one for all the rest.

All of our complete lock sets for all other models can be found HERE

0427-520 Lock set – Bus 05/79-07/83
0427-525 Lock set – Bus 08/83-07/84
0427-530 Lock set – Bus 08/84-07/92

Beside authenticity there’s also reliability.
This is only for the lovers of the earliest Volkswagens ever built.

25HP engines carry a very specific wide plain belt 13mm wide on 850mm length to be precisely as BBT 1941-050
The plain belt looks all the way and is original as can be.

But by coincidence we now  offer  also the same size as serrated belt.
This belt is remarkable better priced and safer to drive as the teeth make the belt really stronger.

Better looks or more reliable driving comfort, or maybe both…:)
Choice is all yours now.

After Ray left BBT Tim had to find a new partner to load, stuff and secure BBT customer precious cargo loads.

He teamed up with Greet, a recent new worker in our Goods In dept.

They both loaded a container for Sydney Australia this week and had a ball with what they do best, moving quality BBT parts along…
