Duplicaat van Newsletter January 2018 print
Duplicaat van Preface
It’s always a nice thing, reviewing the past, while it’s snowing. Outside it’s quiet and peacefully white, even the clock seems be ticking slower. At once people don’t bother that they have to driver much slower, they are just happy, that they still can drive on the slippery roads. You know the gist of the cause, that’s what it‘s all about.
2017 has been quite a turbulent year with many changes within our company, but with much innovation too. There has been quite some employee turnover, as well as some big changes. We were very happy to introduce a lot of new products this year. We believe we’ve done it quite well, there was a small growth and we’re ready to start next year!
2018 announces itself in great state… with high expectations, locally, in Europe and in the rest of the world. Declaring Jerusalem the capital of Israel was quite a challenge for Trump. Should this be the start of the ending of world’s oldest conflict (as the Israeli like to call it) then we’ll have to adjust our expectations… we’ll see.
The conjuncture seems good, stock exchange keeps increasing (without a reason?), the unemployment decreases (together with more automation?) and investments increase (disposal of profit figures from the multinationals?). 2018 here we come! A year without challenges, won’t be a good one!
And what about our oldtimers ? It’s funny that it is in everybody’s lips, whereas 30 years ago we were considered to be an outcast. My passion remains, for cars as well as for the job and the brand. I’m ready for the next 30 years, let’s start with the new year!
I wish everybody a nice, pleasant and splashing 2018 with a lot of work, an exploding passion, much joy in your work in an excellent health, with much love and tenderness.
Bob

Repairkit brakecaliper
1246-400Type 3 08/71-
Type 411/412
The Volkswagen type 3 family (Notchback, Fastback, Squareback and Type 34 Karmann Ghia) use a different type of brake caliper from 1971 on. Up to 1971 the brake caliper used is the same as for the VW beetle and Karmann Ghia BBT ref 1248 but in the model year 1971 they introduced a new type of brake caliper thats real hard to get. Sometimes were able to score a couple of NOS ones, but thats rather far and between so we teamed up and made this state of the art quality rebuild kit for those brake calipers most of the existing brake calipers can be rebuilt with our new kit. Happy to have found a good solution for you!

All spindles are slightly different and they all fit a very specific spindle washer! This washer keeps your bearings in place like it should, and at the same time adjusts the play on your front wheel bearings, (together with the nuts so to speak) so a good spindle washer is mandatory.
Shift rod rear
1403-520Bus 08/67-07/71
This is the indispensable rear part of your shift rod that goes from your shifter to your transmission to select your gears . worn out and tired, broken or missing, no problem any longer. We got you covered with these brand new ones! Fit all early bay window up July 1971.
Synchronize ring 1st gear - Bus (091)
1493-01208/75-09/82
Because more and more buses are coming from the USA; the bigger 091 transmission (for the bus with Type 4 engines 1975 and up) are driving around on the old continent. Therefore, demand for these transmission parts raised a lot the last couple of years Weve now added the synchronize rings for these transmissions in our ever-growing stock assortment Replace yours when that transmission is open anyway, theyre fairly inexpensive!
Lifters, hydraulic
1634-100 Type 4, WBX CT/CZ
High demand made us search high and low to find these quality lifters More Type 4 engines reach our shores and demand for Type 4 engine parts is on the rise. BBT tries to help our trusty customers by enlarging the range of Type 4 engine parts. These OE replacement hydraulic lifters are a nice add-on to our ever-growing type product line! We sell them in a set of 8 pieces.
Flywheel dowel pin set long Ø6
25/30hp (8pc)
1641-500
Early engines up to 1959 had a lot of different names over the world, most common is the 30DIN Hp engine (whats translated as a 36 HP SAE in USA). They use only 6mm dowel pins to keep the flywheel steady to the crankshaft, later models use 8mm So we teamed up and brought back the 6mm dowel pins. We've made them slightly longer as stock, to give more strength and they have no play, are not worn, nor plied, nothing beats new dowel pins! Sold in set of 8 pcs
Valve cover clip 25-30PK / Black
1768-250
Valve cover springs for the early type VW engines 25 and 30 DIN HP (thats 36 HP SAE for our American friends using SAE norms). We teamed up with a very reliable spring factory in Belgium to make springs in a good quality, (read; equal or better than the NOS items, which we gave them as samples). This clip is made in spring steel! Simply a perfect fit, feel and smell, exactly like we want it! Stop oil leaks by worn or tired original and behave for cheap reproductions that will never give you satisfaction ,because they will always be leaking! As we choose for powder coat finish, the ends might go kind a though in the cylinder head holes at mounting, but once mounted they fit like original and do their job impeccable!
Fan guard

Stuff that almost any bus with type 4 engine needs, a brand new plastic mesh fan guard. Almost always broken or missing, its pretty important to keep big stuff out of our cooling system! Brand new and good quality available, we have them ready for delivery.

Important and especially practical is the timing scale for your Type 4 engine. Perfect for the ignition timing, perfect for valve adjustment, perfect for many things. The scale is always correct and can only help you. Replace your missing and or broken scale now .

Poor idle? Bad cold start? Or just too high consumption? This elbow and T-piece are little naughty bastards that can cause you a lot of problems.

Get yours now and save yourself a LOT of trouble .

Wiper switch
2446-015Bus 08/74-07/79
We also added the wiper switch for your late bay window to our program. When our used parts dried up, it was time to find a reproduction. The quality seems OK and is fully functioning, that is why we change a broken part in the first place, right? Get those wipers back to work!
