I suppose nobody has ever been more happy with rain than our Aussie friends last couple of days. Maybe they start thinking different and cut back safety corridors in the future to prevent such  fires, but what a bad situation they had… hopefully the water pollution will not become too bad, because how sad would it be to survive such a fire and die from a water poisoning…..

There was also big economic news this week in regards to a first step trade deal between China and the USA. We see that China leaves their currency float and don’t (over) protect anymore…  hopefully they stop subsidizing the rest of their industry soon, so we do not have to coop stupid anti-dumping taxes anymore from one day to another… a free market is good and fair to everybody, but a market with illegal subsidy is not fair to other countries, let’s that be final…:)

No poison and neither subsidies inside BBT this week, we just went full force again… here some new products  recently added to our ever enlarging program!

 

 

We think about everybody, also about our right hand drive customers in the UK, Australia, South Africa, Japan… The development of this was rather by pure luck … but we did it. We now supply  RHD dashboards, brand new for your splitty bus…

0890-983 Dashboard – Bus 03/55-06/61 RHD

 

 

Finally we finished, this was a hard one… more of it; in between we ran out of used ones too…
This is the bracket, which connects your steering column with your dashboard in your splittie bus.
Made with exact same pressing and punching as your original. Undefinable against a NOS part.

The rubber and holder cup that bolt your steering column up to this  bracket is BBT # 1370-555
fixed with these bolts BBT # 8766-06-016

0890-184 Steering column bracket under dashboard Bus 04/55-07/67

 

 

Next  we have a repair section for late bay window buses. The chassis in the back gets  pretty often bad where you mount the engine AND the bumper brackets.

 One of our suppliers made the perfect repair panel for this. He recreated the last 40 cm of the chassis rail to replace all the torn, disabused, rotten or bent material left from the old one.

High precision laser cut in fat, thick 2mm steel, comes in 2 pieces (not welded together) for easy mounting.

0891-678 Chassis section rear left (40cm)- Bus 08/71-07/79
0891-679 Chassis section rear right (40cm) – Bus 08/71-07/79

 

 

Always look forward, but to drive safe you need to know what’s happening behind your back too… therefore the rear view mirror was invented you know what’s happening behind you while looking forward in the rear view mirror through your back windshield. ah….)

This week we add a perfect reproduction rear view mirror for your oval window.

0567-050 Rear view mirror – Beetle 10/52-07/57

 

 

 

We like to highlight some of our products in this next chapter;

We get it  right.. a walk through is such an awesome feature in a bus, however, we’re not all the same and too many buses have had the bulkhead cut out and thrown away.. often leaving an unfinished look in the bus.. look no further, we’ve got what you need to return your bus to its factory look. Our bulkhead is just as good as when it came out of the factory.. quality heavy gauge steel with perfect pressings is what you’re getting and once installed and finished we guarantee a smile on your face

While politicians in Belgium are heating up for the upcoming elections of May 26, we try to stay alive and expand our program. We don’t make promises that we can’t keep, but bring you honest parts as we’ve always done for the last 33 years….

This week is not different.  We like to bring your attention to some cool new products and a couple of other products we also have, and we think you should have them too, ah!

We included this European style electric kit with the tow bars we’ve been selling forever. They have been warehoused as a BBT internal warehouse number.

Lately we got several requests for this kit so now we’ve added them to our general stock program. Perfect for any European style tow bar and all brand new.

4850-000 Tow bar electric kit 7 pin

As one of the many parts we developed for our king and link pin program we also produce our own Phenolic washers (Celeron rings).

We sell these separately from our kits as well at very low-cost. They are manufactured in the exact  and correct material.

Available in two sizes of course. You will need 4pcs for one complete front axle job.

Another week and another cool set of parts…. 31 months after we started the research, we finally have our complete line of king and link pins for bus, this is pure and real, nothing fancy or cheap.

We searched parts all over the globe and our king and link pin kits contain parts from 6 different suppliers.

All components are made from highest quality materials available. The king pins are casted by induction and then stamped in the old fashion good way like it should be.

We visit every single factory that made parts and followed every single production process. Just to make sure we could bring a top product on the market. At least as good as original back in the day, maybe even better…

And… we managed to make a new exploded view too! Thanks Peter! 

Look at the quality… all steel cage needle bearing… like it should be, and how it should look…

Bullet proof quality…
