Preface
Spring! Finally!
Our favorite season has arrived, fresh green colors in most parts of the Northern hemisphere transform nature and parks in pieces of art. The blooming of nature each time after the Winter is a spectacle by no means to be sneezed at. It brings hope and you notice it immediately on people. In the streets, in shops, just around you, in your favorite club or even at work. When you are honest with yourselves you see it even in your mirror, yes we too are changing when new fresh green leafs are blooming. The young animal awakes in us, each springtime again, as a playful foal in the meadow, and that’s good for sure!
Will the economy also revive happy as a young foal in the meadow ? I’m afraid that I can’t show the same optimism. We’re floating away economically. That’s logical, the Western economy is based on the fact that profits go to the rich and debts to the State. When Forbes announced at the beginning of March the top of Dollar multimillionaires , it strikes me how much richer the wealthy citizens of our planet have become, most of them have just doubled their capital in a couple of years. It’s not their fault of course, they’ve previously laid the foundation for it, it’s just owing to the system. On the other hand poverty is expanding too.
This uncertainty appears to bring along a huge potential for our sector. Inflation is high, the ECB is stamping a great deal of money in order that the monetary crisis will not turn out into a great depression. Apparently black Thursday and the depression of the Thirties are still in our mind. Consequently a massive inflation can’t be turned away. Nowadays money on the bank costs more than it yields . In other words interest rates are lower that the inflation. Many people wish therefore to invest their money in something concrete and let our oldtimers just be the hit of these new technologies. Prices of top cars are rising to unknown heights throughout the world. When the top of the mountain is rising, the base will inevitably become wider and just right there we are with our Volkswagen story at the flank of the economical mountain. We all can only become better from it.
Being a wholesale company we are ready to assist our distributors. Our stock is bigger than ever and our logistics are sharp. We’re prepared for the new season and we’re looking forward to work at full speed. Now we’ve got used to our new infrastructure we can pick quicker, pack better, deliver more, we’re just ready to encounter this beautiful season together with our customers.
My Spring greetings are to wish you all, customers, suppliers, friends and sympathizers that all your dreams come true, happy as a foal in the meadow and if possible even a bit more….

Door check strap
0438-600 Type 2 -07/60211 841 387Side doors of -07/67 buses are designed as such that they can be completely opened without problems. Therefore there is a maximal access to the rear passengers and/or cargo part. In order to avoid damage to the body when doors open wide, VW has created a door check by means of a textile strap which is fixed at the underside of the side doors. These straps are made of textile and due to age they are often torn. From now on we can deliver them both, versions differing in length, each from stock.
Cabine door lock catch, left
0438-750 Type 14 56-07/63141 837 295Many owners of Karmann Ghia can confirm that the body hasn’t the same rigidity as the VW Beetle. That’s why a good locking of the doors is sometimes a quiet susceptible part with Karmann Ghia. Due to friction on the body, parts related to suspension and securing the doors can suffer a lot and also the lock catches don’t escape this wear and tear wastage. When traveling you will surely like that doors are kept locked and as lock catches are the principal part, we’ve decided to take this item for model -07/63 into our program. Lock catches are sold each and per side.
Filler flap
0492-750 Type 14 08/67-This rubber flap can be found behind the fuel filler cut off valve in the front wing on Karmann Ghia 08/67- models.

Due to influences of fuel and petrol vapors this rubber hose parts can get fragile, tear and leak. Leakage has to be avoided any way, as it has already caused fire in the engine compartment for several times in the past. From now on we can deliver this filler neck rubber hose, which connects to the fuel tank, each from stock.

In the meantime our stock of second-hand moldings has reduced a lot, which has made us decide to take this set now as a continuously available part in our program. The set contains 4 moldings and corresponding PVC clips and is designed for assembly on the dashboard without providing for petrol gauge.

0636-290With the actual traffic it is essential to drive with a good electrical installation and proper lighting. This applies also on the indicator switches, which were installed on Type 1 Beetles from the late sixties with an hazard indicator signals function, so that in case of danger or breakdown all the 4 indicator signals could be ignited. Many owners of older models wish to provide their vehicle with this function too. The classic hazard switch with indicator light and connection code according to numbering used by Volkswagen that BBT has now in its range, can be installed in a correct way on older vehicles.Battery, positive pole left, Type 2

Coat hook in cloud white
0784-750 Type 2 08/63-79221 857 629AInfluences of UV rays come into sight after many years on many interior parts in our classic VW. Parts in PVC fade and harden. Damages due to manipulation or disassembly during repair can’t be avoided, which requires availability of such replacing parts. The PVC coat hook used on Type 2 08/63-07/79 is such a part that we present now in a nice reproduction each from stock.

This floor plate with installed hump will help many Type 1 lover, who want to replace the floor of the body. In the past we already had these floor plates (# 0854-3 & 0855-3), though the hump (# 0882-L & 0882-R) weren’t delivered along with the floor plates and had to be ordered and assembled separately. Another option was the recycling and assembly of the old hump on the new floor plate, but this is certainly not the most efficient proceeding.

0890-345 -07/62For many years we were able to deliver the rear wheel arches as a replacing part for Type 2 model from 08/62-07/67, which in some cases after being adapted, could also be used on -07/62 model. In the meantime we have found through our expanded network the correct model in a good fitting quality. As a result of this fine quality, we have taken both versions from our supplier into our range.

We recommend to replace the damaged outer cable at the first signs of age by a new correctly fitting item. Available each from stock.

2219-100 Type 1113 119 519GCorrectly assembled engine plate work is essential for a proper functioning without problems of your aircooled engines. That’s why it is important that plate work is in optimal condition. Corrosion caused by temperature fluctuations and weather influences can seriously damage the plate work, so that it can’t be no longer used. The pipe which is now in our range can be found near the V-belt driving disc. Its function is to intercept the pre-heated air, that comes between the cylinders and the cylinder head. The heated air is captured through this pipe and guided to the carburetor by means of the air cleaner, in order to achieve an optimal substance for an effective combustion. This pipe is available each from stock.

Radiator antifreeze
8511-150 1.5lFor many among us, fans of the classic VW, it is still an inexplicable riddle why VW has decided at a certain moment to switch over to water cooled engines...

For prevention you can add antifreeze cooling oil to the cooling water. Available in barrels of 1,5L, which you need to dilute. 1 on 1 part water gives 3L of cooling liquid with a protection till -36°C / 2 on 3 parts water gives 7,5L cooling liquid with a protection till -24°C and 3 on 2 parts of water results in 7,5L cooling liquid with a protection till -52°C.Screw countersunk, rounded head
