No buzz, no hush but every week real VW stuff.
Welcome to the BBT News.

We enlarge our stock style shifter and shifter components program.

This week  our new shifter bases have arrived.
Two models to choose from, Beetle or Bus.

We currently work on complete shifter kits for split and bay window bus

0510-010 Shifter base – Beetle 08/52-, KG, Type3, Type181

0510-015 Shifter base – Bus 50-07/79

The proper shifter springs, lock out plate and slide ring you can find HERE
Complete Beetle shifter kits you can find HERE

“Shock pads” mount between chassis and body near the rear axle.
Every car body is different, especially after intensive welding.

Different size of shock pad can be necessary to level out the body correctly to the chassis.
In certain circumstances you can adjust door gaps with larger or smaller shock pads, especially with convertibles.

We supply 10 & 17mm shock pads for longer time, we now add  7mm thick shock pads.
The 7mm thick shock pads can be just enough where 10 or 17mm is too much.

No more rubber cutting, BBT brings the right parts for the right solutions.

0704-090 Shock pad body/chassis 7mm (4)

0704-095 Shock pad body/chassis 7mm – eccentric hole (4)

Other shock pads you do find HERE

We improved our door panel clips for Bay window bus.
Not really happy with what we had we made a new production from 100% NOS clips.

Our new clips tend to hold better in the door.
Only perfect is good enough for our Volkswagens, right?

The BBT News team wishes you a splendid weekend!

Is Tik-Tok dangerous?
CEO Shou Zi Chew tried to explain the US congress it isn’t.

Maybe CEO’s from Facebook, Twitter, Google and others should be heard as well.
Fact is that too many data mining companies start knowing more about us and our behavior as we do ourselves.

Facebook and Burn-out are two words invented on the same day.
Chinese, American or any other app, its user responsibility what data to share.

But using all App’s with necessary caution is a valuable advice!
BBT website is not a data mining App, don’t worry..

We’re just here to make our VW lives more enjoyable.
Welcome to our weekly News….

Beetles up to 1953 and buses up to 1966 had their brake fluid reservoir mounted directly onto their brake master cylinder.
Between the brake master cylinder and its reservoir was this ring to avoid leaking and strengthen up the bottom of your reservoir.

It’s recommended to replace this ring every time you take the reservoir and master cylinder apart.

Besides the ivory white wiper switch knob with 4mm internal thread (HERE) we stock now the same knob also in black color.

We updated the strength of our 65-67 front brake drums.
In cooperation with prime brake drum manufacturer OMC in Italy we changed the tooling to add metal where the windings are.

This makes the thread hole 9mm deep exactly like original.
This results in more windings and more strength.

Safety before all!
Another BBT exclusive.

Over 16 tons of brake drums received this week, so we have all Top Quality OMC brake drums back in stock!

Will history repeat?
We are living in exciting times….

In Flanders Fields there’s a monument build after WWI stating “NO MORE WAR” not even 20 years later Germany invaded Poland starting WWII.
After two banks in USA collapsed last week this week Credit Suisse came into a storm… that’s not even 15 years after the last financial crisis.

Wil near future dump us again into trouble with a worldwide crisis?
Or will we start a new episode of the roaring twenties after the Russians finally understand they can’t win this war?
