It’s not for nothing the hippies of the sixties choose the VW bus as their cult symbol and favorite very highly inspirational transport mode…

Maybe therefore we can bring you a real message of Peace out of BBT headquarters this Easter.

We try to produce just any single piece for your bus, and we succeeded already a long way…hope we can spread our part of Peace that way all over the world.

Keep on bussin’ and Happy Easter to everybody also in these Corona times!

We’re glad to post some BBT bus family memories, to share with all of You!

Hopefully we meet again soon in our buses, after we survive the Corona virus….

Near our North Sea coast a VW dealer used a big painting from a recent launched boat (back then), a kombi and other VW parts as a sales decor in a try to boost his sales… Idyllic, isn’t it?  See The engine lids far right!

This is early sixties….

It’s nice to see how people are adapting to situations, some do it fast, some do it normal, some don’t…

We’re all effected by the Covid-19 virus in one way or another, but we shall live to learn from it, in a kind a way worse than a world war, because now there are  no “neutral” countries….

It will not be the most intelligent neither the strongest, but only the one who’s able to adapt, he will survive, nothing less can be said from the current situation today….

Even on a small-scale we,the  BBT News team, have to adapt. All in a sudden working from different locations was something we never experienced before, just yell to the other desk in the last minutes before publication was all at a sudden no part of it anymore… But I think we found a way around it, we’re a kind of “adapted” and ready for our new future, only nobody can predict how we will wake up from this….:)

Besides all this we got also the extra task for a “Wednesday Thank You day” Blog  which makes our lifes even more interesting…. and graceful we should be, don’t we all realise that  now….

For this week we have some new products for the Brazilian Kombi models. These parts are not really made for European models unless different specified.

Let’s start with the cargo doors for Brazilian Kombi.

Many of the Brazilian buses are imported in a rather”sorry’ kind a shape.
We, @ BBT, try to help and will build up our line of spare parts for the Brazilian made Kombi starting with the cargo doors.

Practically the same as European Barndoor buses up to 1955 they’re a way different like a normal made European Kombi 1955-1967.
So we  stock these for Brazilian Kombi only and for the brave who want  to adapt them into their barndoor bus….
Quality of this part is Brazilian aftermarket and has nothing to do with our Silver Weld Through program for European buses.

We also have the repair pieces for the lower A-pillar for your Brazilian Kombi available now.
We got so many inquiries for this part,that  we decided to make it a part number. Over 75% of imported Brazilian Kombi’s need this part.
This  part will make your welding job so much easier….

Next is for the real vintage lovers among us.

Engine oil pressure switch up to 1960 used a screwed terminal to connect the electric wire.

With this new product we didn’t succeed the exact form of the Original VW part from those years, but …we made at least something that prevents you from messing up your original wire loom in order to get an oil pressure switch working.
