Life is too short to use inferior VW parts.
Quality is as important to us as it is for you.

Because we drive our own VW’s,
BBT range is deep and complete.

Every week we drive more of our cars,
every week we add more quality parts.

Welcome to the BBT NEWS.

Every car came with a jack since new, that was mandatory.
VW choose to clamp their jack in the front spare wheel well, right next to your spare wheel.

We now bring you these clamps, fresh out of our brand-new production.
Fits all beetles from August 1955 up to July 1971
and all Ghia’s and Type 3’s up to July 1971

Frequently missing, finally back available.
No reason anymore that your jack is floating around in trunk or cabin!

0856-600 Clamp for jack in spare wheel well – Beetle, KG, Type3 08/55-07/71

The warm air coming from your engine supposed to heat up your beetle is divided to different directions in the front by these connectors.
Sitting somewhere midway before your A-pillars these are frequently missing.

If not missing the early Bakelite type of plastic tend to break easy while replacing the flexible tubes that come and go to it.
We now offer correct replacements, two prongs for early beetles and three prongs for later brothers.

Welcome to the BBT News.

Early Volkswagens didn’t come with a gas gauge but with a fuel tap.
The beetle has the fuel tap next to the pedals against the fire wall.

Now we offer an extension to open or close that fuel tap.
No longer you must dive under your dash to switch to reserve.

Let us call this kind of safety device!
A reproduction from a genuinely nice period accessory.
