Friend of Da Houze, Eric from Grant Pass, Oregon send us this cool pictures of his two early single cabs in his garage.

Both babies are absolutely first paint.

How cool is this?

Do you get tired from people who always have to complain, who can’t and especially who don’t want to adjust?
It’s a crisis, many compare it to a war and every decision from a government makes a bunch of people complain against it, even strike, and yell real real hard.
If the politicians don’t do it perfectly as they all think they should, if they go in politics themselves… so they can do good for everybody…. by their own… smart euh?

We, @BBT, will not go into politics, we just continue the only thing that we know and that are Volkswagen parts.
Like the lady from the flower shop told us a while go, I prefer to sell flowers with a facemask on, instead of selling no flowers at all.
Also at BBT we take all measurements seriously, we deeply believe  that everything has a reason and we only can fight that nasty virus together.

So yes, we also prefer to sell you VW parts with a facemask on as selling no VW parts at all.
Let’s join together, let’s grow our powers to fight the virus by getting all on one line and doing the same.
Our children deserve a world without a virus, and only we, by fighting together, can make that happen.
Meanwhile we fight inside BBT to bring you more and better parts for your VW.

Welcome to our weekly updates.

The coat hooks are mounted on the inside of the B pillar of your beetle, on top of the assistance straps.

We  have complete assemblies available HERE
We also have the coat hooks separately available HERE

And as an extension to this family of products we now bring you the top coat hook covers for beetles from 1961 up to 1966.

To finish that car in style…:)

Sold each

0781-251 Coat hook white – Beetle 08/61-10/66

We also got the brackets and locking plates in now to keep your brake line where they have to be near the rear wheels of your splittie bus.

These brake line supports are used together with the rubber brake line grommets we sell under BBT # 1255 

Keep the brake lines where they should, we, @ BBT, help you with all necessary mounting brackets and rubber grommets and connections.

1269-225 Brake line support and locking plates set (springplate) – Bus -07/67

We add (finally) the “spoon” latch for your pop out window of your split window bus to our inventory.
Spoon latches have been originally used on all post barndoor buses (03/55-) up to the end of 1961 model year (ch 832733).

Originally available in three lengths. We started with the middle length. What was the most common in its day.
We stock the original model 1962-1967 pop out window latches as well under BBT # 0347-50.

Spoon latches fit later model split window buses perfectly. All holes line up correctly.
With our spoon latches you can open the pop out from your later split window bus by an extra 5cm (that’s 2′ for our US friends).

That’s our answer to global heating in regards to your splittie bus inside temperatures…:)

0347-550 Popout window “spoon” latch extended – Bus -07/67

We also add the hinges for the convertible rear quarter windows to our program.
These fit all convertible rear quarter windows from model year 1965 and up.

If they’re not worn out full of play they might be bent or torn. It’s unbelievable how these poor babies can look.
A proper operation of the rear quarter windows start with a set of good hinges.

The mounting pin we supply as well, to give you no excuse not to change these hinges anymore.

7126-103 Quarter windowframe hinge right- Beetle convertible 08/64-

7126-105 Rivet quarter windowframe hinge – Beetle convertible 08/64-

We found another supplier for our type 3 fuel senders and can offer these again from our inventory!

0493-300 Fuel sender – Type3 08/62-07/73 TQ

This is the part that’s mounted on the brake shoes and receives the commands from your emergency brake cables to lock the brake shoes when necessary.
Absolutely not happy with the incorrect parts available on the market we made our own.

Just like it should be, we made them from NOS samples for 100% accuracy.
Another BBT top quality product.

Sorry for all inconvenience but we only go for the best.
Oh yes and we do have competitive pricing too…:)

1239-44 Emergency brake handle, left for Bay window bus 1971-1979

1239-45 Emergency brake handle, right for Bay window bus 1971-1979

We made a brand new tooling for this late rear Bay window bus transmission mount.
Tired of poor quality and loose promises of existing suppliers we simply tooled up for our own.

Ours has thread you can really use, the bolt can be easily turned by hand.
Check with what you have currently it’s way different for sure.

The thread for the mounting bolts inside seems to be a huge problem as our manufacturer had even to make a special new tool to achieve the by us required result.
Rubber hardness is exactly as the NOS samples we started from. So finally something good useable….

Comes with two correct mounting bolts in 8.8 strength and two washers. Exactly what you need for perfect mounting.

1489-750 Engine transmission mount, rear, 08/71-07/79 each

Satisfied  our product development is back to certain desired levels we will bring way more new parts in the weeks and months to come.

With our without facemasks, if we can combine the virus fighting together with selling VW parts, we will do our outmost for both, and be happy we’re here….

BBT News team wishes you a wonderful and relaxing weekend.

Our production of early front beetle fenders comes on to cruizin’ speeds….
