Seems fall is over in Western Europe.
First freezing cold is a fact.
Hopefully, the freezing takes the rain away for a while.
We, at BBT, do not take anything away…..
….we bring you our product updates and new arrivals.
Just like any other week.
Welcome to the BBT News
Split window beetles have a different type of molding, dull nerved aluminum that is only polished, not anodized as later models.
The profile of these moldings requires a specific clip.
Not available anymore since decades we bring them back.
The clip is close to the later model but has flat foots where sliding into the molding.
Made from a special spring steel it holds the molding by tension.
After rejection of the first production, we are proud to say these are now exactly as we wanted them and exactly as they should be.
Reversed engineered from a handful NOS ones that BBT Bob found on one of his trips.
Clips for later model wide molding you find HERE
