10 mars 2022 - BBT Travels
Today we had 4 factories… while it was smoking hot outside…
However two being OE we’ve been not allowed to publish any pictures…
But it all started in a well known rubber plant, where we discussed some running developments…
Are you interested how rubber profile is started? Watch this Video!
Video not visible? Click HERE
Extrusion machines are extremely long!!
Rubber is endlesly, or at least almost endlesly…:)
Yep, this is one machine, all the way till the end!
Tooling for VW window rubber, do you reconise the profile?
Rubber press that makes several BBT parts, with your proud visitor…
Are these the best door seals on the market? We do not carry them yet, but at least we will compare the samples… BBT is always on the look out for better!
Next we visited a company that make our #1690 fuel pump base, but unfortunatly no pictures allowed, so sorry…
So move on to the next… one of my favorite Brazilian companies…
This company has more machines as anybody!
They make certain parts for our King and Link pin kits, but manufacture also our spring plates.
Very important we discussed the coating from the springplates, as we know that can be way better..
We followed also the spring plate production, check out this video.

Kombi’s everywhere is an understatement in Sao Paolo…
We run in to Kombi places daily!
Last stop or the day was our supplier/manufactuerer for syncro rings, we sell many.
Very simple because we buy at the source.
This factory is 90 % OE, still today..
Its a huge factory, but unfortunately no pictures allowed,
Check out Syncro rings HERE, we simply beat any WD price, and we only sell OE quality!
If you do not buy from us, you like to over pay, or work with inferior quality, that is.
Try ours, you will not regret, now I visited the production plant I’m even more conviced of what we’re selling, this factory is simply stunning!
We did a small detour back to the hotel, through downtown Sao Paolo,
Thanks Ricardo for showing me your city.
Nothing better to cool down a hot day as a real Caipirinha!
That was the day folks, stay tuned for more tomorrow!
