Can you count how many? its many…:)

Back in the good old days, too many beetles they had, so value was close to nothing…

Once used scrapped they’ve been!

We wish You a happy Sunday, and keep that distance!

When another week passed by in a lockdown, one can easily mess up  a Friday for a Saturday, or a day for a night.
But things  like our NEWS on Friday give us the necessary deadlines to keep track…

How are you all? We really hope you’re doing well? Not too bored yet with all that’s closed or functioning with all kind of restrictions?
We try to help where we can and this week we add another couple of real goodies to our ever growing product line.

Exclusively for aircooled Volkswagens, exclusively for you!

Let’s start with the official introduction of the BBT front fenders for your oval window (1953-1959)…

We had a bunch of smaller “pre-productions” in and sold all before things got unpacked.
But now the beast is out! The production is running full force and deliveries have been scheduled on a monthly basis.

What started as a rough idea in 2008 became a real project in 2015 and is finished now in 2020….
Top notch quality deep draw stamped on real cast toolings in no less than 8 strikes (plus headlight bowls that is).

We use the correct metal thickness and pressed in the right radius. We made the correct “hump” next to the headlight bowl and a perfect “bump” near the running board. We also took a lot of care for the “flat’ on the returning edge. We have invested days and nights in the design of the headlight bowl and assembled the whole exactly as Volkswagen did back in the day with the headlight wire tube all in place.

Each fender is individually packed in its own proper box for maximum protection and easy shipping.

The launch of today is for oval window (1953-1959). The fenders for split window beetle (1949-1952) are previewed to arrive in July and will feature a different (or non) horn grill hole and their very specific headlight bowl.

This wheel stud is the same as our BBT  2584-400 en 2584-410, but in 60mm length. We just enlarged the family…:)

If you want to have different wheels on your Bay window or T25/T3/Vanagon these press studs are the perfect solution to get some more tread to mount the wheel nuts.
Even called press studs, the studs are easy removable and new ones easy to mount, You don’t need a press at all…:)

Due to popular demand we add this cable connector due  mainly to connect our voltage regulators.

Our voltage regulators BBT 1951 en 1950-1   especially require such a wide connector, now you don’t have to search anymore, it can be easily ordered along.
