Another Friday, another BBT news, and another week full of Volkswagen pleasure ahead. Let us help you to enjoy with even more new parts in our BBT parts program…
We’re proud to release our front panels for your splittie bus: we have all three models from 1955 till 1967 and the two different correct models of headlight bowls and/or the mounting pods for your pre-63 indicators. Easy to pick what’s right for your beloved bus!
After rejecting and demolishing several wrong samples (click Here!) we adjusted the tooling several times for a perfect shape and fit front panel as a result. Now we can guarantee a perfect look and fit, our front panels are correct in every detail and economically priced too! We have a commitment and that’s quality!
Get yours now at the better VW shop in your area, make sure it’s a BBT panel, beware of cheap imitations…there are some look-a-likes and Scooby Doo’s inferior quality floating on the market too… BBT parts have BBT stickers… that’s your guarantee!

We made top quality cargo door locks for your splittie bus and supply these together with their rods. This is the real deal and the quality is easily comparable with original. We shipped samples back and forth to the factory for many months if not years… until everything was exactly like we wanted it to be, I can tell we got really picky by growing older!
This is what we will mount on our buses, period. We’re very proud that we succeeded again and bring top quality products on the market.
We made both for front and rear cargo door. All models are now available.
The very specific screws to mount the rods to the locks, are available under BBT ref 0436-515

We got your bus covered!
Longer time available through BBT shop we decided it was time to make this a fullworthy BBT part no.and added it to our ever-growing range of quality parts for your Volkswagen….
This car cover for your bus is made from a breathing material that’s water-resistant (not waterproof!) .
Very handy feature on this cover are the zippers which allow access to the bus without that you have to remove the whole cover… bright engineering, that is!

For you Karmann Ghia lovers who want to do it right…
We add this week this rubber seal between body and alu trim that holds your weather seals. This seal is nicely moulded and has the perfect profile.
Originally only used at your rear quarters, but will replace perfectly that sticky dummy black glue used to hold the alu weather strip profiles under your raingutters above your doors.
We sell per pair, enough for one side or 2 rears. You will need 2 pairs to do a complete car left and right front and rear.

In the spotlights this week are our own production wind deflectors.
We’re proud to let you know that they already make part of BBT’s assortment for more than 10 years. They are an exact copy of the 50’s era accessory for your beloved ragtop. These are perfect for any rainless day,
they reduce the wind flow in your car which makes them ideal to use on
days when it’s not scorching hot. Because we know how important it is
to differentiate style, we offer them in 3 different options..

Another great product is the dome shaped interior light glass for the early
split beetles (sedan), they are often cracked or missing.. We offer a perfect
replacement real glass, that looks just like the real thing.

Our third and last shout out for this week goes to our own production BBT link pin set
for the ‘63 model split bus. This is a one year only product that deserves a proper shout out,
because the front beam set up of this bus is often changed for a earlier/later styles due to
shortage of parts. Well… look no further, here at BBT we’ve got what you’ve been looking for!
And as with all other parts in our assortment, quality is what we pride ourselves in and this one is
not different!! We’ve also listed the other years for your convenience, just because we like you 🙂
