Do you also have the feeling there are only coming more wars in the world?
Seems like war is no solution because rarely ends.
Local people always are the real victims.
Our VW buses, don’t they conduct enough messages of peace?
Political leaders should be driven in VW buses, they should not make war.
To make the buses dependable they can always call us.
Our aim is (and always will be) to bring better parts to give old Volkswagens eternity.
Welcome to the BBT News.
We extend our bus bumper line from our SWT program.
We already carried the front bumper 66-67 “Diamond cut” HERE
Now we add the rear diamond cut bumper plus both slash cut bumpers.
BBT SWT bumpers come in L82 Silver White color, exactly like original.
0012-601 Bumper front – Bus 09/58-07/65 (Euro) Silver White SWT
0013-601 Bumper rear – Bus 09/58-07/65 (Euro) – Silver White SWT
0013-602 Bumper rear – Bus 08/65-07/67 (Euro) – Silver White SWT
Running out of used always motivates our search for replacement.
Engine lid springs no different.
Our “used” boxes showed empty bottoms so the search was on.
Today we add both missing engine lid springs for your Beetle.
Our complete Beetle & Bus line of engine lid springs HERE
BBT # 2303-110 can be used for Karman Ghia front and rear hood too.
Although original Ghia’s have a slightly larger diameter springwire so are little stronger.
This might result your Ghia hoods do not stay open that firm as intended.

As a wash out of our emergency brake handle line development we made our own dowel pin for the emergency brake cable hook up.
This dowel pin fits buses from 1960 all the way up to 1971.
Resulting in better prices and nicer quantities.

This week we had the big earthquake in Taiwan.
BBT has plenty connections there and supplies from this beautiful country.
Especially the rural east Coast was hit hard, thanksGod the area with the lowest population.
Also, in capital Taipei and other cities there was damage.
But all the factories we work with seem to be ok and people are alive and kicking.
Nature is and stays unpredictable.
Classic Volkswagens do not have that kind a secret anymore for us.
Every week we’re just adding new products.
This week we let the sunshine in, if she comes out that is.
Welcome to the BBT News.
Spring is here, open your windows…
BBT adds low-cost Safari windows for your bus.
Front and rear opening windows for fresh air and cool looks.
Besides front we add for small window in small tailgate up to 1963,
and for wide window for 64 to 79 tailgates.
That is right, also for Bay window!
Deluxe large window for small tailgate -63 will follow later on this year.
We use polished high grade stainless steel for these safari window kits.
Polished stainless steel means small scratches or dull corners can be easy corrected by extra polishing.
All our Safari window kits come complete with all necessary hardware for easy mounting.
For these new kits we especially worked on price.
Our top-of-the-line Safari window kits HERE now leave you the choice in quality.

More safari with these small rubbers.
These small rubbers go between your safari window catch and the safari window frame.
Original used on early frames, nice add on for all year’s frames.
VW never published on their exploded views.
We had to find them in the text of the (early) parts books, what we did…
