This is our last News with new products for this year.

Looking back, we enlarged the BBT program significantly.
Also, this week we bring you new products to make your VW life easier.

Welcome to the BBT News

To dismantle the switches on your dashboard we now stock this practical tool.
Will fit all switch nuts that a Volkswagen dashboard has.

Leave the pliers in the drawers of your toolbox.

This little tool does the job, without damaging the nut.

We already had the transmission gasket set for Bus 68-75, as BBT # 1415-650

Now we add two new gasket sets to cover all manual transmissions for Type 1, Type 2 and T25/T3/Vanagon.
These kits include all paper gaskets and O-rings, but not the flange seals, sealing caps or shift shaft seal.

With this combination you get back a stock application.
The serious price reduction is part of this change!

Check out our quantity pricing.

Beware for cheaper reproductions.

8 décembre 2023 - NEW

Why an old Volkswagen, you ask?
Well, they may not have high-tech bells and whistles.

But they have character.
Something we all crave.

Even more than an air conditioner on a bloody hot day.
So, get in that rusty beetle or hippie bus and drive it around happily.

Turn a smile on people’s faces wherever you go.
Something we can use more than ever in these weird times.

To keep your icon on the road BBT brings you more and better parts.
Every week, over and over again.

Welcome to BBT News.

We decided it was time for more accurate splash pans for that splittie bus.
We bring you splash pans that do fit better for the different model years.

There was a ton minor differences over the years.
But most we could streamline into two models.

We have the 55-89 model to cover the early buses.
Most work we put in to the 60-66 model.

For the one year only 1967 model or with a dual circuit brake master cylinder you need a sleeve where the brake light switch peaks out.

The sleeve is quite easy to make.
There for we do not grave an extra part nr for it for now.

This is a proud addition to our Silver Weld Through program.

Out of deep in the world of VW engine builders we a had the request to add the Maxi 26 Full Flow Oil Pumps.
Maxi 26 In & Out Full Flow Oil Pumps provide a way to operate your engine “Full Flow” without the inconvenience and cost of drilling and tapping your engine case.

Maxi 26 In & Out Full Flow Oil Pumps are manufactured with large 3/8″ inlet and outlets for unrestricted, high volume oil flow.
The aluminum alloy used in manufacturing the housing matches the temperature characteristics of the engine case to help reduce leaks and oil loss.

Keyed 9 tooth 26mm drive gear and blueprinted specs help provide an oil system that will greatly reduce oil temperature and increase engine life.

The Maxi 26 In & Out 6061 T-6 billet cover is anodized in black, CNC engraved, and will accept 3/8″ NPT fittings HERE

We advise to grease the lock before use for trouble free and long-term operation.

Seems fall is over in Western Europe.
First freezing cold is a fact.

Hopefully, the freezing takes the rain away for a while.
We, at BBT, do not take anything away…..

….we bring you our product updates and new arrivals.
Just like any other week.

Welcome to the BBT News

Split window beetles have a different type of molding, dull nerved aluminum that is only polished, not anodized as later models.

The profile of these moldings requires a specific clip.
Not available anymore since decades we bring them back.

The clip is close to the later model but has flat foots where sliding into the molding.
Made from a special spring steel it holds the molding by tension.

After rejection of the first production, we are proud to say these are now exactly as we wanted them and exactly as they should be.

Reversed engineered from a handful NOS ones that BBT Bob found on one of his trips.

Clips for later model wide molding you find HERE

We start today with these absolute NOS cylinder heads for 1200cc engines.

Only one limited lot.
First come, first served.

Once they are gone, they do not come back.
