Preface

A couple of days ago there were these horrible bomb attacks in Brussels and now I’m taking the time to write the preface of the spring newsletter. Deeply moved by the incidents so close to us ….In the first place our sympathy goes to the victims and their family, the stranded travelers and everyone who went through this misery … shame on you IS, all this suffering to innocent people!  This has nothing to do with faith nor conviction, it’s a downright crime!

I was listening with incredibility to the political debate which took off. Some scapegoats must be assigned and we will know … anyway… isn’t that exactly what those terroristic idiots aim at after all ? Destabilizing our society ? It would be a good thing to join our forces on political and diplomatic matters. Then we would really show that senseless acts of violence have no use.

The stock market (except for the airline companies) reacted in a tranquil way. That’s good thing… don’t make it undermine our economy!

Let’s all take an example to our wonderful Volkswagen world… plenty of friendship and fellowship… and with the new season coming (collection cars drive just more during the summer than in the winter period). BBT is ready for a great challenge to supply all the necessary parts to our customers.  Our purchase department is making a great job !

Let’s enjoy spring time, with splendid weather and marvelous cars!

Keep your (VW) faith!
Bob

Window sash, left, each

0362-700  
Beetle -09/52111 837 571
The metal profile of the window sash clamps the window (with a rubber in between), this gives the fact the metal "sash" frame is under tension for whole of its life. Metal that's under tension wear out, as simple as that... call it "metal tiredness"... so after enough years of service the tension will fade from your window sash, mainly because of corrosion at the ends (that's where it starts mainly). Your window will not go down nicely anymore, will hook and turn... time to change the window sash... and now readily available at your nearest BBT dealer!

Elbow for alternator air exhaust 55Amp

1967-500  
Type4 -07/74 021 903 655B

Ignition coil Beru, 6V with clamp (German)

2052-250 111 905 105H
There was a time that Bosch was the only brand for the electricity of your engine. Unfortunately due to many foreign and cheaper productions, the Bosch quality got worse. We now have the BERU alternative for you, high-quality, also made in Germany… and it is the brand that we use on all BBT vehicles., if we may say so to our entire satisfaction. Beru works and Beru is strong! Highly recommended on behalf of the BBT team!

Side window seal with ventwing, TQ

7507-100  
Bus 08/67-07/79271 845 285
Buses destined for US market use to have several vent wings in the rear and middle side windows. Temperatures are quite high at the west coast and people could afford the luxury of some cooling (contrary to for instance Italy or Portugal where the price was more important). As many Bay window buses are now imported from the USA we have taken this seal into our assortment so that restorations can be executed in an authentic way.Fitting instructions. Click HERE
