I suppose nobody has ever been more happy with rain than our Aussie friends last couple of days. Maybe they start thinking different and cut back safety corridors in the future to prevent such fires, but what a bad situation they had… hopefully the water pollution will not become too bad, because how sad would it be to survive such a fire and die from a water poisoning…..
There was also big economic news this week in regards to a first step trade deal between China and the USA. We see that China leaves their currency float and don’t (over) protect anymore… hopefully they stop subsidizing the rest of their industry soon, so we do not have to coop stupid anti-dumping taxes anymore from one day to another… a free market is good and fair to everybody, but a market with illegal subsidy is not fair to other countries, let’s that be final…:)
No poison and neither subsidies inside BBT this week, we just went full force again… here some new products recently added to our ever enlarging program!
We think about everybody, also about our right hand drive customers in the UK, Australia, South Africa, Japan… The development of this was rather by pure luck … but we did it. We now supply RHD dashboards, brand new for your splitty bus…
0890-983 Dashboard – Bus 03/55-06/61 RHD
Finally we finished, this was a hard one… more of it; in between we ran out of used ones too…
This is the bracket, which connects your steering column with your dashboard in your splittie bus.
Made with exact same pressing and punching as your original. Undefinable against a NOS part.
The rubber and holder cup that bolt your steering column up to this bracket is BBT # 1370-555
fixed with these bolts BBT # 8766-06-016
0890-184 Steering column bracket under dashboard Bus 04/55-07/67
Next we have a repair section for late bay window buses. The chassis in the back gets pretty often bad where you mount the engine AND the bumper brackets.
One of our suppliers made the perfect repair panel for this. He recreated the last 40 cm of the chassis rail to replace all the torn, disabused, rotten or bent material left from the old one.
High precision laser cut in fat, thick 2mm steel, comes in 2 pieces (not welded together) for easy mounting.
0891-678 Chassis section rear left (40cm)- Bus 08/71-07/79
0891-679 Chassis section rear right (40cm) – Bus 08/71-07/79
Always look forward, but to drive safe you need to know what’s happening behind your back too… therefore the rear view mirror was invented you know what’s happening behind you while looking forward in the rear view mirror through your back windshield. ah….)
This week we add a perfect reproduction rear view mirror for your oval window.
0567-050 Rear view mirror – Beetle 10/52-07/57
