Hope your Thanksgiving turkey is all digested by now and You all had a great day with the family yesterday… Thanksgiving is a big thing in the USA!
No american travel adventures from Bob today, but our weekly Friday Product Update, with again some very interesting parts news!
We had the economy version of this fuel sender longer time in our program under our BBT ref 0493-7 but most customers wanted a better quality as the cheap one was not as good as it looked… problem is inside, a very thin wire that holds the float needs almost nothing to break… that problem is finished now with the top quality, easily comparable with OEM! BBT cares about quality parts as nobody else!
In stock now and ready for delivery!
0493-705 Fuel sender TQ – Bus 02/55-07/67, KG 8/60-7/61 & 8/66-
The following products came finally back in stock after longer time being unavailable…

Yesterday I paid a visit to Jim’s VW repair shop in Monterey Park, just east of Los Angeles… Jim is around for 41 years but decided recently to retire… another good old VW fellow will be gone anytime soon…
Seems that Jim recently became the owner of Chuck’s old convertible, Chuck had that car forever…
. Kind a cool a convertible with signwriting huh?
ok I have to hit the road again… today I drive to Arizona to visit another good old friend…

I scored a couple of real cool Westfalia’s on my trip through Nevada…
First this ubercool and clean 1973 westy in Reno Stead airport, You didn’t believe I was gonna let the white whale flying, did You?
Owned and maintained for the last 17 years by the commander of the airport, very frequent pilot that has loads of experience with aircooled engines… the car is maintained as a plane, believe me or not! the engine runs like a swiss watch, and this baby drives you to heaven in seconds!
second I had this ubercool and very original 1979 westy from Chuck… long-term owner, and very deep VW aficionado, self-declared that this was the best driving VW he ever owned!
Last but not least Francisco sold me his cool 1975 Westfalia, that is good value for money, but need some “finishing”….
No Francisco, sorry, didn’t take your split…:( that was too much of a project for me…:)
But You do have a cool garage for sure!
and now… back to work, next case is waiting!!
