Globalisation was something magic.
Was, unfortunately no longer.
Still, we can travel quite a bit.
Visiting factories, discussing productions.
This helps us tremendously bringing you new or better-quality parts.
As every week we show you our latest releases.
Welcome to the BBT News
Let that fresh air come in on those hot days.
Give your Beetle that uber cool stylish look parked at any show.

After Germany we can honestly state Brazil is the second Volkswagen country in the world.
Brazil features the largest Volkswagen factory outside of Germany as well.
Although sharing a lot of parts with their European colleagues there are quiet some specific parts to Brazilian built Volkswagens.
The indicator switch is one of the unique features on Brazilian beetles and buses.
With the mass import from Brazilian Volkswagens into Europe lately and demand after specific spare parts, we decided to stock all model indicator switches.
Especially for these family members from far away.
If you have a Fusca (beetle) or a Kombi Clipper or Carat from Brazilian Heritage, chances are big we have the exact and correct indicator switch for you.
The differences are small sometimes, but we decided to stock the whole range, because your Brazilian beauty deserves nothing less.

Most of our developments start when we do not find what we need, or are tired of what exists.
To see with quality or availability, sometimes unreasonable prices are igniting us.
Building a network for over 30 years helps choosing suppliers and manufacturers.
We try to keep our Volkswagen hobby as economical as we can.
Every week we publish three of our latest developments and some updates.
Welcome to the BBT News.
Bus IRS stub axles holding your CV joint on one side and your brake drum on the other.
Early bay windows with wide five (5 x 205) bolt pattern have longer stub axles than their later brothers.
Sky rocketing prices for used ones made us producing the early axles ourselves.
Same time we produced a batch of late model (shorter) ones to reach quantities necessary to keep prices down.
Original Volkswagen (NOS) stub axles for late model HERE
1478-590 Stub axle rear ‘IRS’ – Bus 08/67-07/70 BBT
1478-610 Stub axle rear ‘IRS’ – Bus 08/70-07/92 BBT
These manifold ends connect your central manifold with your dual port cylinder heads.
We scored these out of remaining stocks from VW Mexico.
Made for 1600cc engines, they will fit your 1300cc dual port engines as well.
We sell by the pair, one left and a right together.
2109-620 Intake manifold ends 1600cc – Type1 (pair) – OE
A front brake drum from a 64-67 bus is remarkably close to a front brake drum from a 68-70 early bay window.
The only difference is the outer diameter from the grease seal that keeps the grease in your wheel bearings.
We now offer this 64 x 50 x 8mm grease seal to mount a late split drum to an early bay window car.
BBT #1287 and BBT #1287-01 front brake drum uses this 64mm outer diameter seal to fit both, 64-67 split window bus and your early 68-70 early bay window bus.
1359-015 Grease seal front wheel bearing, brake drum 64-67 on 68-70 – Bus 08/67-07/70

March 1 or shall we say Mach 1?
It looks like the entire world is accelerating.
Accelerating on fast speed comparable to Mach 1.
Supersonic speed, faster as sound, comes with a bang.
BBT parts and developments come with a bang too.
One bang for release, another bang for the bucks on your money.
Words are easy to say. Parts are difficult to make.
Every week we give you our new launches.
Better parts, new parts, updated parts.
We simply do it.
Welcome to BBT news.

The BBT ignition wire set family you can find HERE
2019-100 Sparkplug connector short (brown) – BBT
Brake shoes changed in January of 1954 (bus in 1955)
The early brake shoes need a different type of brake adjusting screw.
The main difference is the surface slit in the screw where the brake shoe comes.
Early brake shoes need a straight contact surface for the brake shoe in the adjusting screw.
Later models adjusting screws the contact surface is under an angle or “inclined”.
The brake shoes are just opposite.
Early brake shoes have two same inclined ends top and bottom.
Later brake shoes have an inclined side on top and straight side at the bottom.
We experienced many parts mixed up in many cars.
If you ever wondered why brakes on your early car are impossible to adjust correctly this might be one of the reasons.
Volkswagen books give different applications front and rear, bus and beetle.
Cars being that old and brakes repaired multiple times BBT suggests that is better to pair the adjusting screws with your type of brake shoes than working on parts no. or applications only.
Correct early brake shoes are in the works and will be finished shortly.
BBT loves early cars, they deserve correct parts.

Bus tailgate hinge covers are a wisdom on their own.
Split window buses 1964-1967 have smooth surface tailgate hinge covers and Bay windows covers are structured ones.
Also the shape between the two models are different.
BBT is proud that we figured out the right and wrongs to supply now correct tailgate hinge covers.
Originally not UV resistant makes this brittle and often prone to crumbling.
BBT tailgate hinge covers come in a high-grade UV resistant ABS.
Now with new competitive pricing and even nicer quantity discounts.
Check us out!
