20 februari 2021 - Friends of the house

Sad news reached us today that Bruce Meyers, the inventor of the Beach Buggy, left us yesterday at age of 94.

Bruce passed away yesterday, Friday, at his home in Valley Center, California USA om a blood disease called myelodysplasia.

Several nice articles been published about Bruce, where Autoweek gave a real nice time line about our heroes history. You can read the full article HERE

On several occasions we met Bruce and his wife Winnie and everytime he impressed us so much being a real and humble man.
One occassion was really remarkable as we met Bruce together with Friend of Da Houze Jacky Morel.

Jacky was the guy who we can be put easily responsible for bringing Bruce back into the VW world a mere 20 years ago.

Bruce is on the right of the picture….his wife Winie in the middle.

Bruce and Winnie recently sold their company so the future of the Manx is garanteed. Bruce was very happy about that, so we hope he left is peace.

Gracefull we will remember part of Bruce everytime we see a Beach buggy.

Thanks Bruce, you really brought us hours of VW Fun!

19 februari 2021 - NEW

Winter weather is over in Western Europe. But winter seems really bad in certain areas of USA and in Greece (of all places)…

Besides the headlines of the pandemic that was the biggest NEWS this week, but not for BBT….

BBT brings you also this week the NEWS what’s new and back in stock from this week…

Everything for your Volkswagen.

With the latest arrivals of our Silver Weld Through line we have now the B-post for late Single cab Splitties.

As all of our SWT metal parts we made these B-pillars exactly like Volkswagen used to do back in the day. We deep draw press the components and bring them together on professional made welding jigs. And of course we have both sides, left and right.

This week we like to present you also our brand new hinges for the tailgate of your beloved bus.
These hinges are made exactly like original by our famous reverse engineering technology.

Many many times worn, plied, cracked or (partially) missing, we ran out of used ones so we decided to bring you new ones…:)

As a part of our SWT program we guarantee a perfect fit!
These hinges are sold by the pair (left and right)

We bring also the springs for the tailgate…. Sometimes missing, sometimes worn and many times tired and not keeping your tailgate open anymore, or at least not like it should.
Replace those old tired springs with our state of the art brand new springs that will keep your tailgate open, all the way. Like when your bus was brand new….

The two distance rubber buffers come along in this kit. Really necessary to mount these two small buffers to prevent anti-rattle.
These springs fit all wide tailgate buses from 1963 all the way up to 1979.

We add a lot of hardware lately, so we’re sure you get the right screws to mount the right parts.
Our latest addition was this little screw with a countersunk head of 3.9 x 13mm.

This screw is used to mount the interior mirror of your split window bus (Find HERE or HERE), they mount also the sun visors of your splittie bus (HERE) and also on most sunvisor clips (full application HERE). Achtung! Sedan beetles use different screws, you can find HERE.

Correct hardware is wonderfull and we’re glad we found them out for you!
