Californian based Jerry loves to race early Volkswagens fast.

As a contender in the 36Hp landspeed records he build himself a big engine around a 36Hp engine block with a BIG turbo on top…

For engine bearings Jerry choose BBT/ Sintermetal engine bearings, as they’re new and easy available.

Jerry we hope you win all your races from now on… may our bearings help you!

Summertime and summer weather, that’s what we call the good season…

And here is your favorite BBT News on Friday….

What more could man wish ?

The generator/alternator strap was longer time a problem when we needed one for our own cars.
Totally unhappy with the existing reproduction, we decided it was time to tool up for our own production.

We made them exactly as original, in 1mm thick band steel, pre-formed them for a perfect fit around the generator stand and finished them off with strong 8.8 nut and bolt.
Simply said, they’re at least as good as original VW generator straps, if not better.

We supply both sizes, 90mm & 105mm for either 6 or 12 volt generators & alternators.

Another BBT reproduction we’re proud of!

1931-090 Generator strap 90mm
1931-105 Generator strap 105mm

We  supply our clutch bearing guide longer time already  under BBT #1521-1

We now add  the same clutch release bearing guide, but in a higher quality.

One of the features we like to highlight on this top quality product is the little oil drain hole. In case the  transmission starts leaking, this hole lets the oil out in the bell housing of your transmission in order not to spoil it over your clutch.

Sold each

As we  sell quite a lot of CB Performance “Panchito heads” we feel it as normal to supply  also the specific intake gasket between inlet manifold and the cylinder head.

Panchito 044 heads are our prefered choice for mild to wild street tuning.

Next we like to introduce this small necessity.
We  supply the specific rubber strap BBT # 0737 to hold the back of your rear seat in position while driving, especially while breaking.

Now we add the little metal clamp plate that will hold the rubber strap firmly in place.
Comes with original type of screw, for perfect look and perfect finish.
