news

For the last 30 years or so my 1st of May pilgrimage goes to Hannover May Käfer treffen… it’s an awesome show with a huge swap meet, we always have a ball… some impressions….

Big news this week from the Media, they brought out that the fault for Trump’s popularity is the fault of the Media… now try to figure that one out… it’s like shooting yourself in the foot, reload your gun and shoot again!

One and another can be the result of the speed of life lately… Laptops, computers, iPads, Facebook, Internet, Whattsapp, Instagram, Cell phones, Text messages, Netflix, only to name a few… is life so much better as before the millennium when we didn’t have all of that? I don’t think so. And the simple reason for that is that we don’t lack  any desire anymore. We all want it now and here, immediately.

Well at least we keep the desire going… We’re continuously developing new parts and don’t care how long it takes, we’re happy as long as the result is good. Our aim is to build everything we make in the quality VW used to make it back in the day or even better, why not? If it takes, one, five or ten years we don’t mind, our aim is set to quality and that’s it! It’s nice to keep that desire… we feel good, fit and healthy, ready for our next run….:)

We started up three new products last couple of days and took them to the drawing boards. They may take at least 6 months before finishing, one even up to a year, even they’re relatively small items. But the desire burns…

This week we present you the new product samples we’ve been working on at least 3 years… with our whole Bus silver weld through sheet metal program. That desire burns as well. As you know our goal here is to make every single part that’s on a bus, so you could, theoretically, build a complete bus together.

What is your desire?

Maybe not recognisable for most of you, but this is the metal part right above the door of your splittie bus. It’s the part that sits between your cab door and your roof… guess you can visualise it better now…. perfect fit and quality, BBT approved production…

0890-865 Connecting profile A-B pillar left (inner and outer) – Bus 07/63-07/67
0890-866 Connecting profile A-B pillar right (inner and outer) – Bus 07/63-07/67

We all know the rockers, and they existed in several colors and qualities… but ours are stamped on Die-Cast tooling. Exactly like Volkswagen used to do back in the day. Not finished by hand, but finished by tooling.

Simply to guarantee the same perfect fit on every single one of them.

This is the complete rocker, inside out, so easy and fast to replace. This brings restoration to a much easier level!

This is the closest you can come to a NOS part. With the exception ours are better protected with the silver weld through primer inside out, what NOS don’t have….

There was a day we thought there was only one model of those crazy springs…  did we know there were two…  of course with the different height of the engine lids it makes sense… sometimes we just don’t think deep enough…:)

We made the new spring 100% to OE specs, fits like a champ and is strong enough to do the job perfectly. Your choice for the best available!

0438-273 Engine lid support spring – Bus 08/71-07/92 (25.50cm)

The “other” spring for the engine lids made from Dec 1963 till July 1971 and for all treasure chests on pick ups built from Dec 1963 all the way up to end of bay window production is available under our BBT reference 0438-272

Next we have a part out of our front fender program, another desire…:)

Now we supply  the steel wire tubes you find on all original fenders between headlight bucket and inner fender (body) to guide your electric wires in style. They have been used on all VW beetles up to 1959.

Our fenders will carry the tubes automatically on the headlight buckets. But we decided to offer them also separately.

Why VW made them in steel is still a big question, but fact is they’re always rusted out, mostly missing and without your car is never perfect. This is the perfect solution to replace your old rusty worn out or missing headlight wire tubes with perfect reproduction ones.

That was a big chunk of desire here….LOL, enough of that… we all like to wish you a relaxed weekend, leave that phone off, nothing is that urgent. You will be surprised what a relax feeling that is, question is, can you still handle that relaxing feeling???

More BBT news, next week, stay tuned!
