Seems You all liked a lot the pictures from the microcars into Bart’s Eurovan…

Well he send me more…. for all of us to enjoy!

Happy Sunday!

Do you know what Santa will bring to you?

This is our last BBT news of the year and therefore we start wondering what will be in our socks on Christmas morning, don’t we? Well we have a big BBT sock with all NEW BBT goodies ready for you, and we’re glad to present them here….

Of course there’s more silver weld through this week, especially for pick up…. we start with the rear window panel for the beloved small early rear window. They fit later models for sure, but you will need to find another glass.

And of course that rear window panel has to stand on its beam, so we have also the beam for you.

On the inner side of that rear window panel, near the roof there’s this Pick Up very specific upper panel. This panel makes your pick up a little more cozy inside and holds your interior light.

This is also very specific for VW splittie bus, this little bracket helps your engine lid support to function ok in 55-63 buses and pick up trucks alike. It’s welded to the “D” pillar of the engine lid opening and holds the support on the lower side.

The single cab pick up uses the same plate for its treasure chest support.

If one window isn’t enough for looking through for you, well we set up to give you four windows next to each other so you simply don’t miss any view…:)

This is the inner panel only.

We’ve had this panel for a while, but since we produce them ourselves, we’re now able to offer them at 70% less than previous price!  That’s right, you get it, this is ONE THIRD of our old price !

It’s not only cheaper but it’s also way more accurate and it fits better. All of our silver weld through panels have been used by world’s top restoration shops and  we get only  positive comments. Or as one customer/user told us earlier this week, if BBT panels don’t fit there’s something wrong with the bus. The nicest compliment we had so far!

Dial in with the pro’s and use BBT’s Silver Weld Through as your next  restoration panel. You won’t regret it!

We just finished our new Exploded View for the fresh airbox of your splitttie bus. Most parts are explained below.

BBT 7491-100 is the square rubber that closes the fresh air duct. This rubber is directly mounted on the fresh air control plate . Originally it has been used up to chassis 215 190 000, but you can use this all the way up to 07/67. We used to sell this rubber under BBT shop ref W667-211-817-757

BBT 7491-110 was introduced with the 1966 model year, but can be perfectly used on earlier buses as well. Together with BBT 7491-100 you get a perfect tight closure of your airbox!

We sold these rubbers under BBT shop ref W776-211-817-773A

0767-500 are the rubber bump stops for the air duct plate.

0890-895 is the closing plate for your fresh air box and BBT 7491-200 is the gasket (rubber) for that.

Due to popular demand and too many special orders we decided to enlarge our Engle Camshaft program with the W-90 what is a cam that’s pretty close to a stock cam for your Type 1 engine. As every Engle cam also the W90 is in extreme good quality and actually the best your money can buy.

We specified our seat paddings a bit more… as for the full width bus middle seat we have now two-part n°s  for the bottom. BBT 3545 goes for 55-63 and our new BBT 3545-100 goes from 1964 model year all the way up to end of the bay window production in July 1979.

And last but not least for this year, we like to introduce our little seal that sits right under your fuel flap lock. The finishing is into the details as we all know, this is such a detail!
