Welcome to the BBT NEWS
We weekly update  our new and updated products.
BBT is home of the Split Window Bus Westy tents.
Working on our new production we decided to make tent material available by running meter.

We will soon finish our tent tops again.
Now you can buy the correct material to make your sides.

Leave your imagination free run? 
What about a Westy bikini top for your buggy?

Westfalia tent material is at one side water resistant coated.
150cm width and sold by running meter.

Yellow/gray and orange/white available.
New tent tops are in production and poles are in development.
BBT is official European distributor for DKB Metal (Deutsche Karosserie Bau)
DKB brings more correct repair metal for early beetles.

We add  the correct spare wheel well repair metal.
Split window beetles had an access hole in the rear luggage compartment.
This hole gave access to your starter engine, or easy clutch adjustment.

Many times the cover plate is missing, bent or rusty. 
BBT now stocks the new cover plates from DKB.
We add the US style taillight lens for 70-71 Ghia.
US style comes red/red/white. 

European style in orange/red/white HERE.
Unpredictable, overpriced and discontinued Bosch production led us  build our own.
With a certain pride we want to introduce our brand new dual relais for fuel injected aircooled Volkswagen.

Teamed up with a high end relais factory we bring you the perfect copy.
100% match in size, design and function.

No longer need to find, test or risk used ones. 
Comes in its proper designed BBT box.
Back available for immediate delivery.
BBT News team wishes you a splendid and sunny summer weekend.
Enjoy your Volkswagen(s).

Life is beautiful.
As long as we have sun, music, love
....and VW parts.

Welcome to the BBT NEWS.
Our first vinyl for split window bus is ready and available.
That's right, we now bring  correct Mesh Grey Vinyl from (or by) the roll.

Started from a NOS color sample this is the real deal.
Width is 1.5meter and we sell by the running meter. 

Our bay window Westfalia upholstery HERE

More early repair metal.
These front bumper brackets come with a serious part of the inner-fender/ quarter panel.

Will repair most inner-fenders where they're bad in the front.
These are correct fit for 1949 to 1960 cars, 

Correct (more narrow) near the front axle. 
That is the difference with later models HERE
Vintage speed mechanics and lovers this one is for you.
We bring you smaller diameter valve springs to fit into standard size valve spring.

Dual valve springs give a better valve closing in order to reach higher RPM.
Standard feature on Okrasa and other period tuned engines.

These are perfect for any25 & 30HP engine conversions 
That's 25 & 36 SAE HP to our American friends. 

All our valve springs HERE
ZF/TRW/Varga quites production of these valves a while ago.
Other supply was simply over priced if available.

BBT tooled up to make our own.
Trial and Error gave us progress.

With pride we launch today the correct BBT non vacuum return valve for your brake booster.
Perfect, fits all bay window 1971 and up with power brakes.

Crazy low pricing because of our own (massive) production.
This week we received several containers from all over the world to increase our inventory dramatically (again).
Massive arrivals for better infill, and more to come.

We are terribly busy unpacking.
Many exiting new products arrived too.

BBT NEWS TEAM wishes you an exciting weekend.

27 june 2025 - NEW

Welcome to BBT NEWS weekly
May we show you our updates and new products?
Today we introduce the early beetle front bulkhead, inner and outer.
Perfect replacement for a correct finish.

BBT is proud DKB distributor.
DKB delivers small but needed repair panels for early Volkswagens.

Better sheet metal for early beetles available now.
Later model bulkheads HERE
Early Karmann Ghia convertible use a front central handle to lock your convertible top.
Many times this handle is hanging down.

The internal spring mess up the internal mechanism.
Or worse just brake the handle near the pivoting point.

BBT brings you the perfect solution with a new handle.
Our handles have a reinforced pivoting system .

This holds up your handle so much better. 
Later model Ghia's use the same latch as late beetles HERE
Bullet indicators been used on a bus front between semaphores and the later "fried egg" indicators.
US models stop sema4's for the 1956 model year

Europe change to bullet indicators for the 1960 model year.
We have all bus bullet indicator parts seperate HERE

Out of popular demand we supply now the complete assembled as well.
We add extra cab rubber floormat.
We missed the 55-59 RHD (Right Hand Drive) cab floor mat.

No longer, as they're available of the BBT shelf as of today.
They come with the checkered profile to the floor to keep the dampening space.

Adding this mat we have a complete line of  split window bus cab floor mats HERE
We're happy to announce another price lowering.
We reduced our price for 30 Hp style (36HP for USA) fan shrouds dramatically.

30 Hp fan shrouds are popular to use with dual carburetors.
BBT supply four different styles, both in chrome and black. 

Later style fan shrouds HERE
