Is there News today?
It seems President Putin destroyed Covid at once, what a guy!
No Covid in the news anymore or hardly… only “his” war against Ukraine…poor guy.
Why must people suffer in a war that can’t be won?
BBT brings you more news, about all the goodies new in our program this week and other BBT product information along. Buckle up, sit back and let’s go!
After a mere two years in development we’re extremely proud to present our indicator switch for 70 to 74 bay window bus.
Not available since many years we tooled up with the aim for a quality product without compromise.
70-72 model we offer with 5 or 7 wires, 73-74 “peddle” model comes with 5 wires as always.
All three indicator switch models are 100% private BBT productions made on our own private toolings.
All these indicator switches come with their two mounting screws included.
These indicator switches can easily be compared with original ones and will make any 70-74 bus or kombi happy to turn!

We made the specific little bay window indicator & wiper switch screws also available separately.

Many times these very specific screws are missing, damaged or simply loosely vibrated.

We changed our liquid gasket to Febi Germany.
Our previous brand simply became way too expensive.
Febi liquid seal came out best of a test pallet of different brands and samples.
Content doubles to 70ml and price decreased over 50%, and this for the same comparable quality.
BBT is continuously on the search for a better product.
This is one of our results to give you simply the best possible service as a BBT customer.
After too many problems we decided to go for another quality of rubber oil line, oil hose, oil tube or whatever you might call it in your country or region.
We had a couple of complaints and constructive feedback set us to work as always.
We found and now supply this extra reinforced oil line that holds up to 10 bar, tested and certified.
Our main concern in or search was that it had to be also flexible and don’t close in bends or corners, had to stay open and give max flow under any normal cornering.
Now we can offer you the best oil line money can buy still for our very acceptable low price…
BBT 13mm oil line is perfect to bridge between engine and external oil cooler, filter or thermostat, or any other oil line application.
