Who isn't tired of the big spark plug brands qualities, origins, unpredictable prices or unknown delivery times?
We teamed up with a huge spark plug manufacture to make our own BBT spark plug.

....only to find out several known brands use same factory.
Hyper modern fully automatic production process guarantees a very high and stable quality level.

Our first has same specifications as the Bosch W8AC.
Extensively tested over 100.000km during last 12 month without missing a beat.

This is the spark plug that spark all BBT and Bob's cars!
When approved for our VW's, does it approve yours?

Le Bug Show on the Spa Francorchamps racetrack was a big hit.
Team BBT thanks everybody for visiting our booth.

If you never have been to the Spa VW meeting, you should.
3500 vintage Volkswagens together is amazing.

Only once a year, in August that is.
Our product updates we give you every week.

Welcome to the BBT NEWS.

We are proud to introduce our brand-new sliding doors for Bay Window.
Stamped and assembled on 100% private BBT tooling.

Made in well-respected BBT Silver color.
Thoroughly tested and approved.

Early model 68-73 now available  from our shelves
Late model 74-79 in development and expected early next year.

No more troubles to find a good used one or try to weld your rust holes.
Individual packed in a custom-made reinforced box for safe transportation.
 



Summertime convertible time.
Convertible beetles have many specific parts.

Today we add the hold down latches to secure your hood in open position.
Fit all beetle convertibles from May 1960 till end of production in January 1980.

Missing, rusty, crusty, or broken, most convertibles deserve new ones.
BBT brings you the solution.

Sold by the pair.
Hold down latches for earlier convertibles HERE
Bay window buses have been available with Type 1 or Type 4 engines.
Type 4 engines tend to be a little noisy.

Volkswagen solved that with extra engine compartment insulation.
Now we bring the hardboard panels that keep this insulation in place.

Very precise CNC laser cut 3mm thick hardboard.
Looks and feels exactly like the original but is stronger.

One set is both plates, all you need for one engine compartment.
Split window bus middle seat uses this screw to hinge the flipper part.
These screws are worn out quite a bit after the years, 

For trouble-free operation but also safety we recommend checking these screws regular.
Brand new tooling supplies these 60-63 split window bus cab doors.
No longer inserts for the door handle bulge but one piece pressed outer shells.

Due to the physics of metal, the door handle bulge needs to be stamped in the first hit. 
That means for three models of outer skins we now have three different tooling.

Split window bus doors for German 55-60 or Brazilian made Kombi 58-75 HERE
Split window bus doors for German 64-67 are in production and expected early 2025.
BBT is the major ENGLE distributor.

We received a huge new delivery of quality of ENGLE cams and derivates.
BBT NEWS team wishes you a relaxed weekend.

Last summer weeks in Western Europe gave us finally summer weather.
A relief to drive to work early in the morning in just a T-shirt in your classic VW.

Pure feelings, pure cars, pure parts.
Every year it reminds us why we are doing this.

Good parts make your classic Vw drive.
We work hard to bring new parts weekly.
