Still on the way in the USA I like to thank the BBT “home team” to pass all special info about our new and exiting products “down the road”. We had this week a bunch of new stuff, and also an update on existing parts that was more then important to mention here.

Brand New! BBT 1761 Push rod tubes with springs (8pcs) made to the model of the original VW’s, but then even better! Finally something that works well…. and keeps up. The old models we had of those are also still available under BBT ref 1764

BBT ref 1396-300  Torsion leaves for all standard Bus Front axles, up to 1979 Finally available for buses from 1955 to 1979, original there is two different part numbers but we modified so one model fits all, why make it complicated, at BBT we like simple solutions…. so fits either bay or split window bus!

 1571-100 Forged Chromoly lightweight flywheel 200mm 12V The very best flywheel money can buy, on the complete aircooled market, we’re proud to present another high quality part!

Back in stock!  

Put your keys a way in style!!! Perfect gift idea! Mounts again the wall with two simple screws.

The American leading magazine for personalized cars “Hot Rod magazine” puts on every year a tour for there subscribers… this tour is about 1700 miles cross country and passed this year Mid America only two days after their annual Vw Funfest… as we had lots of business talk on Monday we decided to add an extra day to see what this hype is all about… if we where blown away is an understatement, try to imagine to check out 3500 cars in roughly two hours and an half….

yes we are….

mainly what’s happens is that all cars rolled in, one by one, had a quick tour around Mid America premises, lined up for the complimentary lunch and continued the ride of that day….

stunning beauty’s, wowh! all kind of Hot rods here, from brand new cars, Rods, street rods, muscle cars, Rat rods, even a beetle and an over-sized radio flyer…. here is a overview from cars we liked the most and pictures came out the best…:)

the one and only beetle on the whole tour….

Power You can relay on, sleek lines as a pleasure for the eye…
