Preface

2015 is almost over and it has been an incredible year… I believe that there hasn’t been a more turbulent year ever before…

First, there was a small country that kept us for months on the edge of our seats. Then there appeared on the European borders a flood of refugees (ironically a number less than the inhabitants of Greece) from the Middle East and North Africa, forcing the European Community member states to take  autonomous decisions and measures instead of with the complete European Union. And last but not least an even smaller group extremists has  shaken the world into its foundations with their attacks in Paris. Each time a smaller group that pushed the previous ‘Hot News’ aside from the front pages.

And that’s why we live now at ‘war’ with soldiers and policemen in the streets. It gives us a safe feeling, luckily we’re not yet under siege… It’s rather strange that economically there is not much to notice of this ‘war’. Except for some heated discussions on television and other media about oil, art treasures and other business, we notice only the increased security on the street. It’s weird that normally war comes along with a gigantic increase of prices for petrol and raw materials, whereas now prices are decreasing…even strongly!  Perhaps this is not a normal war ? History learns that it won’t repeat itself this time ?

Meanwhile autumn is over and the winter season has started. Due to the mild temperatures the turn-over of our VW parts is huge. After all it depends what kind of winter we’ll get in Western Europe.  A soft or a severe winter ? A lot of snow ? Or no snow at all ? You can’t predict it.

What we do can predict, that are we at BBT. The challenge of 2016 is coming. The complete BBT team is ready to inforce the door and to work ‘hard’ next year. Automation of our warehouse will be continued, the forwarding will be thoroughly taken on, some great developments on IT matters are on the way and our stock range will be figured out furthermore. There are a lot of items scheduled on the agenda and we consider this preface as our new year’s letter for our customers. A letter plenty of good wishes and the very best intentions, because BBT knows as no one else, that well begun is half done! Our customers deserve it more than ever before.

I wish you personally and  also on behalf of the BBT employees a splendid New Year, plenty of marvelous moments with friends and family and a fantastic 2016…. Lots of prosperity, luck and health! And let’s hope that violence will not escalate in our beautiful world.

A splashing 2016!

Sunroof guide rail set, plastic

0392-120  
Bus 08/67-07/79241 877 300
A sunroof on Type 2 buses is a cute option that brings a lot of driving joy. Though it is less cute when the sunroof doesn’t properly work. In many cases bad functioning is due to problems with the control cables or the guide rail that obstructs a good grip of the crank cables. When the guide rail is worn out, deformed or torn, the manipulation will no longer function and you can’t open or close the sunroof anymore. From now on BBT has this guide rail made out according the original model available in a set from stock.

0941-000  
Type Karmann Ghia -07/60141 711 501
In the early years of production of Karmann Ghia or any other classic VW peers there was no matter of automated choke and the choke throttle had to be controlled manually from the dashboard through a cable. This cable gets damaged or breaks off due to dirt and humidity and after many years use. Duly control of the choke throttle will be no longer possible, resulting in an increase of gas consumption. From now on BBT can deliver the choke made according to the original model each from stock.

Steering peg in steeringbox

1368-220  
Bus 03/55-07/66 211 415 223A
The Type 2 Split bus steering box is known to be susceptible to play on the steering transmission, caused by internal use of the contact surfaces between worm wheel, located on the steering box and the steering peg located on the outgoing axe (pitman arm). The reason is often due to lack of lubrication of the steering box. The peg located on the pitman arm is a very vulnerable part for the transmission and therefore BBT has decided to add this item to our wide offer of parts. From now on excessive play on a Type 2 Bus steering box belongs to the past. The steering peg is available each from stock and fits on Type 2 03/55-07/66. The one for Type 2 08/66-07/72 is available under ref. # 1368-260. A leaking seal can be repaired using BBT item #1368-210.

Wood slat kit for hoop /Single cab

4875-050  
Bus -07/67261 871 151B (x6)
Type 2 pick-up buses are sometimes equipped with a protection cover above the cargo, so that the luggage would be protected against bad weather conditions or theft. This cover was kept on place by means of 2 metallic hoops that were screwed upon the wide bed. The hoops were connected at the upper side by means of small slats. These slats get easily damaged or have been affected after many years with cubic rot. From now on BBT can deliver these replacing slats from stock in an original reproduction. Available in a set in the well-known BBT quality for Type 1 -07/67 and Type 2 08/67-07/79 in a version for single cab as well as one for double cab.

This rubber is used on single and double cab pick-up buses in both split T1 and Baywindow T2 and provides a buffer between the rear hoop and the side drop gate of the loading bed. The rubber prevents the dropgates from rattling while driving. You need 2 of these rubber stops for 1 vehicle.

Westfalia louvre window brackets, as pair

6610-050  
Bus -07/67You can spot a nice accessory on some Type 2 -07/67 Westfalia buses such as the SO42 version, being the so-called Westfalia windows or louvres. These louvre windows can be opened in such manner in different positions so that rain can’t penetrate inside the bus. The windows are assembled by means of seals into the aluminum frame and can be controlled from the inside through a hinged mechanism. The mechanic parts of these louvre windows can show play after many years of use along with the vibrations when riding and therefore they can’t be manipulated anymore. Another disadvantage is that due to play a nasty chattering noise can pop up. You’ll need 3 pairs of these hinges to replace all hinged window frames of a Westfalia side window. From now on BBT can deliver these hinges a pair from stock.
