So its Friday again, and we continue with our weekly updates, new products in the BBT range, every week more and more, even some we do not mention here as they contain only small upgrades from existing parts or parts too difficult to photograph, for the last ones we have to wait on the exploded views update… 

Ok enough talks for now let’s show what this week’s fuzz is all about!

 Testing that’s what’s all about!!! After selling our first badge of steering boxes for split window bus, felt we could do better, so after teaming up with our manufacturer engineers we came out with a new “test “model, and a “test” model we better “test” like it should, on a car that drives, actually on a car that drove almost 10.000km with our first generation steering box, cheers! 

The next generation has a “normal” turn circle from 2.5 circles like original, against 4.25 on the previous first badge. This eliminates same time the “middle play” as that was simply too much on some of our first generations…

outside they still look the same… 

 Koen, our mechanic, takes the honours….

 Fits well like before, the very little adjustment @ the chassis stays for now….

 Are You ready for the testdrive???

 Fuel up and Go!

 Windy roads, perfect for testing….

 and finally a testdrive from the headhoncho himself!

 The BBT trusty back up truck a real crew cab with character!

 We learned a lot, and found a couple of things that needs further attention, middle play has to be further reduced (better adjustment on the play between gears inside) and the keyhole is currently wrong positioned, so we updated all files and are back on the table with the engineers,

…. to be continued!

well i thought i trow it also on BBT blog as we like to get rid of this… in the building we bought there was this hand wash fountain, wash 8 pairs of hands at once! Never used, so for sure in very very nice condition… maybe You need this for your workshop, day time job, office, race track work shop, cantina, school whatever, try to help us to get this out of our way so we can store more VW parts…

new 5000+ euro’s so I think I make it a real bargain at 1600 euro? and we can deliver to almost everywhere in Europe trough our BBT distributor network… overseas might be more difficult as it will not fit a USPS standard flat rate box…:)
