We,@ BBT, are bored with the kind of front hub grease caps that were  available for a long time. To be honest we hardly used the existing aftermarket on our own cars. Instead we preferred NOS or used ones. We thought it was about time to make our owns and we fully succeeded. We made them in the same material as original, with the  same material thickness and in the same size, the same look and  the same finishing. Simple and perfect exactly like Volkswagen did so many years ago.

We tested a LOT of samples during production set up, made DHL and FedEx the first companies to make a few bucks on these by flying them back and forth to the factory every time with necessary remarks. But we kept up and thanks to the everlasting input from manufacturer and our BBT team, we succeeded and are able to offer another top-notch quality product equal to the original. All to keep our beloved Volkswagens on the road, because that’s our main concern!

Finally we have the good front hub grease cap again available for most popular Classic Volkswagens. Order yours now!

Smokey John’s top chop custom pick up was picked up last week by its new owner Marco and drove on its wheels to Italy.

This pick up was an original Belgian delivered pick up and was converted by Smokey John a mere 30 years ago. Marco was real enthusiast about his new purchase and we thought it was wonderful… we made another Top VW deal happen!

Marco, a lot of success, with your new toy, take as much care for it as Jan took to build this car!

Welcome at BBT News this week.

Bathing in a cool autumn sun, Belgium was quiet this week, until our “IRS” unfolded a real big fraud investigation in the Belgian soccer world. Loads of simultaneous house searches, impound tons of paperwork and some trainers, referees and brokers arrested… nothing is what it seems to be, so we’re really happy we’re not a part of the soccer world and stay cosy in our “clean” Volkswagen world…:)

This week some cool new products and a Back in stock worth mentioning after a longer than normal time of unavailability.

In our Bus metal silver weld through sheet metal program, two new items arrived this week. The rear outriggers for buses up to 1959. This is the rather weird-looking “double” outrigger right before the rear suspension. Now available from our stocks.
