The weather we can’t choose nor change.
It stays cold and humid in Western Europe, and we all miss the nice spring,which weather in the month of May is supposed to bring to us.
Forecast isn’t any good for next week neither, only rain…
Thank God we have BBT News upon we can rely on and keep us busy with more and better parts to make our Volkswagen life easier.
This week we received the Convertible top hold down latches for Beetle convertibles built before 1960.
We already used to stock the complete assemblies under BBT #7140-000 and we now supply all pieces separately as well.
I think we can all agree that early Beetle convertibles are one of the coolest VW rides ever built… yammie!

As our steady stream of arrivals keep on going and will get up a notch or two in the next two weeks.
Longer time backorders came finally back on our shelves, it seems our suppliers get more easy production as well.
Hopefully a lot of zero stocks will soon fade away, we keep on working on that.
Here’s a small selection of what’s back available.

Next up are the oil deflector plates found inside the rear brake drums on early buses.
They prevent gearbox oil escaping through the swing axle to be spilled onto the brake lining.
These are often in poor condition or have gone missing over the years.
BBT made a perfect reproduction, copied directly from an absolute original NOS part.
We have 4 different models to choose from, click HERE
Sold each.
1410-905 – Oil Deflector in brakedrum – Type 2, Bus -07/55
Finally, our last call out this week is the window lift channel for split window beetles.
Due to their design they’re under tension their entire lifespan.
As a result of time and natural elements many are rusting away at the ends.
This results in malfunctioning, not holding your glass tight anymore.
This is usually the reason why your windows may not work properly.
We give you the perfect solution with this very high class reproduction part.
Our family of window sashes for the entire classic Volkswagen family can be found HERE
0362-700 – Window lift channel, left – Beetle -09/52
0362-710 – Window lift channel, right – Beetle -09/52
