Intelligent people should not make war.
What says a lot about the political leaders of the world today.

That said we must protect our “freedom.”
Even in our overtaxed countries where nothing feels like “free” anymore.

Good news, we have more, better, and cheaper parts to keep our VWs on the road.
Every week again.

Welcome to BBT news.

In our safari window madness program, we now add  the 55-63 Deluxe rear window safari window kit.
This kit fits all 15 and 23 window buses where the window in the tailgate is larger than for kombi or panel van.

Fitting 15 window bus means also this kit fits most Brazilian Kombi.
Our entire safari family HERE

BBT wants to be a dependable parts supplier for all air-cooled Volkswagens.
More later model Brazilian Kombis find their way to Europe and USA.

We bow stock steering boxes for all Brazilian Kombi up to 2005.

Steering box for 1984 up to 1997 is the same than its older brother but has splines instead of a key to keep your steering wheel in place.
The 1997 up to 2005 steering box has a completely different steering column.

Good news, our new steering box development for European beetle and bus is almost ready and they will be available soon!

Samba time! More Brazilian Kombi parts.
In Brazil they never use the name “bus,” they only say “Kombi”.

Deep into old stocks from VW do Brazil we digged these much-wanted late model accelerator pedals.
Specific for T2 “Clipper”.

These accelerator pedals come with a ball where the accelerator rod clicks on.
Originally fits 1997 up to 2005 Brazilian Kombi.

Will fit from 1981 upwards, with the same application, but another structure.

Do you also have the feeling there are only coming more wars in the world?
Seems like war is no solution because rarely ends.

Local people always are the real victims.
Our VW buses,  don’t they conduct enough messages of peace?

Political leaders should be driven in VW buses, they should not make war.
To make the buses dependable they can always call us.

Our aim is (and always will be) to bring better parts to give old Volkswagens eternity.
Welcome to the BBT News.

We extend our bus bumper line from our SWT program.

 Running out of used always motivates our search for replacement.
Engine lid springs no different.

Our “used” boxes showed empty bottoms so the search was on.
Today we add  both missing engine lid springs for your Beetle.

Our complete Beetle & Bus line of engine lid springs HERE

BBT # 2303-110 can be used for Karman Ghia front and rear hood too.
Although original Ghia’s have a slightly larger diameter springwire so are little stronger.
This might result your Ghia hoods do not stay open that firm as intended.
