BBT’s Friday product update!

This week not many news from products, but still some very interesting things to mention…

BBT#1718 Piston kit 77mm/87mm case 1200cc (KS)

We’re very happy to announce we found a solution for this TNA product! We digged up some old stocks @ Kolbenschmidt and are able again to finally deliver, prices are higher, but as my dad always told me, better expensive than not for sale…

don’t we love those old boxes?….hmmmmm

BBT#0684 High beam relay 12 volts

Wow! sometimes I’m wondering why certain products are not functioning like they should, the once so inexpensive Hi Beam real as a prime example, for months, most customers simply returned theirs as it didn’t work properly, or not at all. We searched river deep and mountain high, for this stupid product, and got no less as 15! samples, at a certain point we got so desperate we wanted to start the production ourselves! But we found a solution, and now after three month sales and hunderds sold with ZERO returns we can simlply say we sell the right product again!
