BBT News

It’s not really news to tell you happy New Year, but it’s something we simply must do because we really want to.

Not for etiquette, general form or being polite, but simply because we really wish you a lot of happiness in the year  which just started.

May 2020 be the best year ever for you, your family, friends, colleagues  and relationships.

The world has never been better till now, never ever was the global rate of poorness or people killed by hunger any lower than today. These numbers recently published don’t mean we’re good and the best, but it means we’re acting in the right direction. We have to keep on growing, keep on telling what’s good and what’s bad and vote politicians that really prefer peace  instead of war! People love conflicts but prefer peace for sure, for all families, also in 2020 the best year ever! Happy New Year…

To start the year we like to present a bunch of new products in our range to open 2020 with a Big Bang.

With the almost unlimited imports of thousands of late super beetles convertibles out of the USA into Europe last 20 years or so, we try to follow the US spec parts line as well. New in that parts line are the rear fenders with the square hole for the telescopic bumper bracket. We offer left and right. These fenders are made in Italy.

The telescopic bumper brackets for the US spec cars can be found HERE.

For the early Bay window we  have the inner front lower panel. Simply said this is the panel that sits between your lower front panel and the BBT 0891-180 inner plate welded on the chassis legs.

Many times just rusted away together with the lower front panel, it’s cool you can replace it at once with these pretty high quality replacement part. This panel ensures you a quality correct repair or restoration.

Out of popular demand we also enlarged  our gasket range for steering boxes.
These are the paper gaskets between cover and housing of your steering box.
Made in EU for perfect fit and quality.

1368-075 Gasket steering box – Beetle/KG 62-, Type3 Type181

Original made for Split window steering box, these will also fit early Bay Window although Early Bay window steering boxes came from the factory sealed with liquid gasket only and never with a paper gasket.

 

And if the paper gasket is not enough we also dug out  all oil seals for the steering boxes… we already used to carry  several models and we’re happy to expand our line with following models.

Next we have a real cool tail gate lock for Split window bus built between August 1963 and July 1966 with the round button.

We can’t tell how many worn out and screwdriver disabused items we saw in our lives, so we’re very happy we could trace this one down and offer it here for you

Comes with two correct T profile keys.
