Welcome to the BBT NEWS.

 

Westfalia camping buses came with their iconic louvre side windows.
A pain to restore, so we decided to produce them brand new.

Today we launch the Split Window Bus louvre windows.
Come pre-assembled with inner frame and mesh flyscreen.

Same high quality than our Bay Window louvre windows HERE

Intelligent people should not make war.
What says a lot about the political leaders of the world today.

That said we must protect our “freedom.”
Even in our overtaxed countries where nothing feels like “free” anymore.

Good news, we have more, better, and cheaper parts to keep our VWs on the road.
Every week again.

Welcome to BBT news.

In our safari window madness program, we now add  the 55-63 Deluxe rear window safari window kit.
This kit fits all 15 and 23 window buses where the window in the tailgate is larger than for kombi or panel van.

Fitting 15 window bus means also this kit fits most Brazilian Kombi.

Do you also have the feeling there are only coming more wars in the world?
Seems like war is no solution because rarely ends.

Local people always are the real victims.
Our VW buses,  don’t they conduct enough messages of peace?

Political leaders should be driven in VW buses, they should not make war.
To make the buses dependable they can always call us.

Our aim is (and always will be) to bring better parts to give old Volkswagens eternity.
Welcome to the BBT News.

 

We extend our bus bumper line from our SWT program.
We already carried  the front bumper 66-67 “Diamond cut” HERE

Now we add the rear diamond cut bumper plus both slash cut bumpers.
BBT SWT bumpers come in L82 Silver White color, exactly like original.

 Running out of used always motivates our search for replacement.
Engine lid springs no different.

Our “used” boxes showed empty bottoms so the search was on.
Today we add  both missing engine lid springs for your Beetle.

Our complete Beetle & Bus line of engine lid springs HERE

BBT # 2303-110 can be used for Karman Ghia front and rear hood too.
Although original Ghia’s have a slightly larger diameter springwire so are little stronger.
This might result your Ghia hoods do not stay open that firm as intended.
