Enjoy your sunday!

When are we going back to normal?
Since the pandemic and lockdown a regularly heard question.

Well maybe there is no way back to “normal”.
Corona and the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine changed the world with no return.

What is (or should be) “normal” anyway? We’re living today the new “normal”.
Economic situation, inflation and a poor performing Euro currency will make the life of the average European citizen a lot more expensive.

Also BBT has to raise several prices unfortunately.
But we check every product individually, try to keep price changes under control where possible.

We work hard to keep our passion affordable, because without passion life gets boring.
We have some cool new products this week, and some other highlights as well.

Welcome to BBT News.

Besides our 9mm wide Hose Connector kit BBT # 1466 we offer now the same kit with the smaller 5mm wide band.

The 9mm kits are used for axle boots and other larger diameter applications that need more strength. We see the 5mm hose connector kit used to secure smaller diameter applications such as the heater hoses between engine and chassis on early beetles. Also to secure your velocity stacks on your vintage speed engine exactly as Porsche used those on their Carrera 4 Cam engines. Just to name a few.

Off course you can use where you want for that perfect vintage look. So much nicer as regular modern hose clamps, the BBT Hose Connector kits will fit simply any diameter. You simply cut the hose connector band on your desired length.

BBT Hose Connector kits come in a handy roll off box, contain 8 meters of band together with 25 clamps.
Essential for every correct restoration. Mandatory equipment in every workshop specialized in Vintage and Classic cars.
