Enjoy your sunday!

Total restoration for a customer…

BBT Spain first big job for 2021!

To be continued…

Happy New Year! A very welcome to our first BBT News from the brand new year 2021.
We like to offer you this New Year as a gift. 365 Brand new days, nicely boxed in a calendar full of VW fun for you to fill in.

We will do our outmost  to let you enjoy as much as you could your Classic VW with more new parts as ever, new projects, toolings etc etc.
More high quality restoration parts for your VW, that’s our goal for 2021.

Of course we wish you a year without health problems, without financial troubles and without relational problems, only happiness and good luck.
2021 will be a year to look out for, internationally, as a lot of things are about to change, it seems globalization is coming to a stop, all nations will be more self-protective, we don’t “share” anymore, or don’t want to….

Ocean freight prices, especially out of the Far East, are killing us for the moment, the few containers available are over 300% more expensive than exactly a year ago… also exchange rates are not always going in the right directions in Far East and Brazil, what makes raw material prices climbing up to never seen heights. In Brazil steel and cardboard prices moved up between 200 and 250%!

So we really hope that 2021 will be the year we can ban Covid-19 but unfortunately I see our lives coming more expensive as well, and our VW spare parts with that.
Again we will do everything to keep prices as steady as we can, as we always have the philosophy that a stable market is a good market…

And… We keep you posted every week, right here, on our BBT News, brought to you by passion from our entire BBT team.

Let’s start this brand new year and the first couple of days with some real cool new parts like this panel at the lower back end of the spare wheel well of your Karmann Ghia.
Another repair panel to make the restoration of your Type 14 Karmann Ghia so much easier.

In Belgium our recently new Classic car technical inspection requires functional window washers.

To make life easier we decided to bring these electric window washer bottles with integrated electric pump what will be way simpler to place or replace than the original by compressed air out of the spare wheel window washer set up.

Late model beetle and bus electric window washer bottles with integrated electric pump have been already longer available and can be found HERE

And we add now the early models 1960-1966 as well in 6 or 12 volt for you to choose from.

The wiper switch for 52-61 beetles and 55-65 buses has a smaller outlet than all other switches in your bug our bus.

Therefore we bring this particular special knob with only 4mm treat inside.

This knob fits perfectly on our Beetle wiper switch # 2444-090 and our Bus wiper switch # 2448-100

All of our wiper switches you can find HERE

Bakelite switch knobs in 5mm can be found HERE 

2444-145 Wiper switch knob ivory (4mm) – Beetle 10/52-07/61, Bus 3/55-07/65

We also brought a missing lens  into our range of license light lenses.
This lens fits all buses up to March 1958, either barndoor as post barndoor bus.

Our full range of license light lenses and gaskets can be found  HERE

Also a very Happy New Year to all Split window beetle owners.
We  stock now brand new T-can (or coffee can) aircleaners for 25Hp engines.

This is a very accurate reproduction and as close as you can get to the original.
We know the very early 1953 oval window cars still used them but we couldn’t determine the exact chassis or build date VW quit these, if anybody can help with the correct information you’re welcome on Info@BBT4vw.com.

Check our very competitive pricing on these and remember these are made on the toolings that supplied the VW assembly lines back in the day.

BBT has the production of these 25-30 DIN H.P. (25-36 SAE ) camshafts in own management as it became apparent there was a demand for these.
