This week we had the big earthquake in Taiwan.
BBT has plenty connections there and supplies from this beautiful country.
Especially the rural east Coast was hit hard, thanksGod the area with the lowest population.
Also, in capital Taipei and other cities there was damage.
But all the factories we work with seem to be ok and people are alive and kicking.
Nature is and stays unpredictable.
Classic Volkswagens do not have that kind a secret anymore for us.
Every week we’re just adding new products.
This week we let the sunshine in, if she comes out that is.
Welcome to the BBT News.
Spring is here, open your windows…
BBT adds low-cost Safari windows for your bus.
Front and rear opening windows for fresh air and cool looks.
Besides front we add for small window in small tailgate up to 1963,
and for wide window for 64 to 79 tailgates.
That is right, also for Bay window!
Deluxe large window for small tailgate -63 will follow later on this year.
We use polished high grade stainless steel for these safari window kits.
Polished stainless steel means small scratches or dull corners can be easy corrected by extra polishing.
All our Safari window kits come complete with all necessary hardware for easy mounting.
For these new kits we especially worked on price.
Our top-of-the-line Safari window kits HERE now leave you the choice in quality.

More safari with these small rubbers.
These small rubbers go between your safari window catch and the safari window frame.
Original used on early frames, nice add on for all year’s frames.

Easter boosts always a spring feeling.
New life, new nature, new car season!
Is your ride ready for the season?
Let us help you with our new products….
…. for this week…. as every week.
Welcome to the BBT News.
The next two clutch discs are a direct replacement for your stock clutch discs.
Solid center means no central torsion springs to leave.
The center of the discs made from spring steel gives a little torsion, but from there you get full grip.
The lay out of the woven material is made for a stronger connection between flywheel and clutch mechanism.
The Heavy-Duty model is perfect for heavy loads or light competition.
BBT Bob tested this clutch disc in his 1959 SO 23 Westfalia on a 5000 km road trip through the Balkan in the summer of 2023.
The disc didn’t miss a grip, the whole trip.
While Bob is not exactly the driver to stay on the beaten path……
The “Kush Lock” disc is rather for competition from mild to wild.
Each clutch disc comes in 200mm diameter.
Our regular SACHS 200mm clutch disc HERE
1501-100 Clutch disc 200mm Heavy Duty
1501-120 Clutch disc 200mm Heavy Duty ‘Kush Lock’

BBT chooses “Filter King” for their fuel pressure regulator set ups.
Need better mileage? But a fuel pressure regulator doesn’t only do that.
Fuel pressure regulators give a correct pressure of your gas entering your carburetor(s).
That is much more important as one could think.
We tested many and the only one that really works is “Filter King”.
We now add the fitting for 6mm fuel lines.
We make our “Filter King” fuel pressure set ups available for more applications.

BBT wishes you a splash in the spring weekend.
Finish that car and take it for a ride!
