Enjoy your sunday, check out these cool period split window pictures, and agree with me, I saved the best for last!

What a week we had!

News that the Dieter Schmidt Lorenz NOS inventory was moving our direction stirred quite a buzz on social media.
Inside BBT this news was quite something as well.

We can make and remake so many more products to OE standards… imagine.
That means many more BBT News to come!

If only that stupid war would end world should almost be perfect!
Or like United Nations chief Antonio Guterres stated, in 2022 there’s no place for a stupid war like this anymore.

If there’s nothing to win… You should make a difference.
You can win your personal satisfaction if you finish your beloved right.

We’re here to help with the news parts we carry from now in our ever growing BBT program.

Welcome to our BBT News.

If you want your early Beetle and Ghia or your small nut axle bus all correct you need these brand new rear castle nut.
The castle nut holds your rear drum in place but also keeps the correct play on your drive shafts!

We always used BBT # 1449 but originally this was only used 08/66 onwards on Ghia and Beetle.
Up to 1966 and on small nut bus rear axles Volkswagen always used this castle nut without molded in washer.

Exactly as BBT # 1449 our brand new BBT # 1449-100 is forged exactly like Volkswagen made them back in the day.
Buses after 1963 all the way up to 1992 use the larger (46mm head) BBT # 1148

Top quality and 100% correct, another BBT necessity!

BBT proudly makes their own colored ignition wire sets now.
Made as original in PVC insulation over copper core as it used to be for stock and mild tuned engines.

No air-cooled Volkswagen needs carbon core or silicone, what’s cheaper to produce, but misses feel and look and especially lack the quality we need!
BBT colored wired sets  come with black sparkplug connectors.

Black stock style standard ignition wire sets BBT # 2045 & BBT # 2099 come with brown colored connectors.
BBT colored ignition wire sets are by far the best price/quality ratio on the market.

First small production run came in, limited availability and more on the water.

A leaking rear axle seal is a common problem and causes the brake lining to soak in gearbox oil, resulting in loss of braking power. Extremely dangerous!
We developed our rear axle gasket set with security as our absolute top priority. The safety of your beloved Volkswagen is our highest concern!
