Gas or no gas?
Russian pipe lines opened yesterday again for gas deliveries to Europe, 40% of initial gas supply flows back to the “west”.
This war is a war of compromises.
Easy said its a clash between East and West, and nobody knows where it will stop.
Let’s hope common sense will come soon to the tribe leaders and make our world a world of peace, love and understanding.
Classic Volkswagens fits perfectly that picture of happiness.
To bring that perfect world a little closer we bring you new parts every week, to make our Volkswagen life an easier life. This week no different.
We bring you a Brazilian alternative for our German made brake fluid reservoir BBT # 1257-21.
Both models will fit all split window bus up to 07/66 and Kombi Brazil up to 1975.
The Brazilian version we present here is optical more correct and way better priced, its German counterpart has a MIN-MAX indication and a nicer finish.
We couldn’t make up our mind wich one to follow, we leave that choice up to you by offering both models.
BBT has an extensive line of brake fluid reservoirs for your Aircooled Volkswagen HERE.

Tailgates used in 63-79 buses fight many times with a rust problem under the window rubber.
Starving window rubber makes water gets stuck between the rubber and the tailgate where it starts to corrode.
That will end up “eating” a lot of the metal below the rubber.
Prices of new tailgates are impressive and used tailgates become harder to get.
BBT brings you a more economical solution.
This handy repair panel will repair these nasty areas below that rear window seal.
This is a one piece repair panel and runs about 5 cm down.

Whether you’ve just bought a new project or you’re working your way around a restoration you’ll get to the phase where exterior items such as the below handle will get a closer inspection..
Often the chrome has had it’s best time and lots of rust spots have taken a more prominent place or the handle is in a bad shape all together.
Here at BBT we’ve got a great selection of beautifully reproduced handles with good quality chrome.
A such the cargo door handle we show here is no different to that. This handle in particular is for non commercial buses as it has the longer spindle to hold the inner door handle.
Available off the shelve and is ready to be fitted – comes with 2 keys! If you wish to see our entire exterior door handle range have a look HERE

Next up is the bottom plate of the cab door step, this is often he first part that starts rusting so instead of replacing the whole cab step, you are able to repair it with this part. Of course also available for the LHS with BBT ref 0892-080.
