BBT’s Split and Zwitter brake booth now availble!

BBT brings you the e-brake boot for your early beetle!

0707-001 Emergency brake boot Deluxe – Beetle 52-54 black

If you want them correct, like we do, a correct emergency brake boot is a cool finishing touch. Sample correction was made multiple times… 

A real challenge to make as they are super rare! We’re happy how it turned out. Can be found already on many of the BBT cars!

Introduced in early ’52, it was a dealer installed option in a lot of earlier cars once the driver or passenger (wife?) messed up their clothes… all the way up to 1954. In collectors’ circles often referred to as the “Zwitter boot”, it is period correct on all split window beetles like that.

Old samples been provided as reference to our R&I dept…. crazy rare stuff!

Black is available now under BBT 0707-001 the brown (for deluxe version) will be etched (exactly same grain as original) and is in production now…

We like to thank Jean Marie and Jacques tremendously with the help to develop this product and bring it to the level of quality we all wanted it…. if Jacques and Jean Marie approve something, we can tell easily its right also for your car!
