In the last straight line to our Open House next week, we’re very excited to present a lot of new arrivals for real vintage Volkswagens, and some others as well!
We stay busy… all parts available through your local BBT dealer or at our counters next Wednesday till 9.00pm during our Open House.
Vintage lovers beware, we have real cool brand new developments to make your vintage VW life way easier!

We start this week with the generator pulley hub for 25 and early 30 Din Hp engines (that’s 36 Hp SAE for our American friends)
These hubs are almost all bad, because of the construction, but mainly about incorrect tightening of the big generator pulley nut.

All 25Hp engines use these 3-piece pulleys with separate hub and 2 separate pulley halves for the wide belt (BBT # 1941-050)
All 30DinHp (36SAE) use this hub with a different 3-piece pulley up to engine Nr 1-120614 (-07/55) for a small belt (BBT # 1941)

Stop the search for a good USED or NOS hub now, we made it of a NOS example to exact dimensions.
Now available from our shelves !

This is our first development in order to bring all exact pre 55 generator pulley components to the market again.
Why? Simply because we need them for our own cars!

1920-600 Hub generator pulley 25/30 HP DIN

More rare, but oh so necessary when you need them, are these one year only transmission nose mounts for 1960 model year only.
We made those because our NOS piles dried out over the years, and we hate to weld different set ups to our cars, original is the way to go!

If we say we’re aiming to make any VW engine & transmission mount ever existed this one was the rarer one to make.
The complete BBT range of engine and transmission mounts  can be found HERE

1485-105 Transmount front – Beetle/KG 08/59-07/60

More early and necessary engine parts!
The cam plug for 25 and 30DIN HP engines (36 HP SAE for our American friends) close the hole from the camshaft bore line behind the flywheel.

Smaller diameter as their 1960 and later VW engine brothers BBT made this early cam plug so all of us can use when rebuilding an early VW engine.
Because of the high production quantity we’re offering at very affordable prices, check out our quantity discounts!

1622-200 Plug for camshaft in engine case 25/30HP DIN

Last but absolutely not least this week is the ignition wire tube holder clamps for your early VW engine.
That’s right, all 25 and 30DIN HP engine (that’s 36 HP SAE for our American friends) have a tube sitting just above your inlet manifold for a perfect guidance of your ignition wires.

This wire tube is held with two of these ignition wire tube clamps.
BBT tooled up and offer these clamps now to the public!

Made exactly as early originals with an M6 weld nut in the back, to give your early engine the perfect detailed look with correct screw it deserves.

Size doesn’t matter or does it ? Well it certainly does when it comes to assembling a motor.
We’re are showing 3 very similar grub screws albeit different in size and for different applications .. read below to find out.

This grub screw can be used for multiple things, but most certainly to secure the oil sump plate on the type 1 engine.
Thanks to the hex socket it’s very easy to install.
However we  recommend using a thread sealant to ensure it remains locked in place when unscrewing the nuts. Available off the shelves here at BBT.

8721-06-020 – Allen key thread piece M6 x 20 Din 913

This Allen key grub screw is used on the single port cylinder heads to secure the intake manifold and as the 6th long stud of the oil sump plate on type 1 engines to
mount the oil suction tube.
A perfect replacement when the threads are worn or damaged by over-tightening. Available off the shelves here at BBT.

8721-06-035 – Allen key thread piece M6 x 35 Din 913

And finally this M8 grub screw is used to fit your exhaust onto the cylinder head(s) it can also be used for other applications on the type 1 motor.
They feature a hex socket which makes installing these easy. Available off the shelves.

Rear side panels are one of the weak spots on a late Bay window, especially at the wheel arch.

We’re tooling up to make a new rear side panel in our Silver Weld Through program.

We shipped two NOS panels to the factory and they scanned and digitalized them already.

Ready to continue now for casting!

Soon available…:)

Rising inflation, fueled by an overheated economy, shortage of work force, a never got-a-way pandemic and a war that can’t be won by any of the two parties…
Good news is different, but out of our magic to change anything.

Our magic, more and better product for your beloved Volkswagen, we practice in full force.
Every week, this week is no different

Welcome to our weekly news letter

This pushrod is the connection between your brake pedal and master brake cylinder.
More important as you would imagine at first sight as this push rod adjust the play between pedal and master cylinder.

This play is extreme important for proper function.

The official Volkswagen workshop manual learn us when the brakes are not in use the clearance should be 0.04 inch or 1 mm between push rod en and bottom of recess in the piston.
This to ensure that the compensating port in the master cylinder is not covered by the primary cup inside your master cylinder.

Incorrect adjustment can freeze your brakes, you better take care.

Now also available for Beetle 1957 on, for your VW bus you can find HERE

Finding good cores to make counterweighted cranks gets more and more difficult, so we add an extra oversize to our range.
BBT counterweight cranks start from original cranks, checked and welded with extra counterweights and finally professionally grinded and polished.

Adding counterweights let run your engine in a way better balance and gives a smoother rotation.
We build countless engines with these cranks and for mild and medium tuned engines this is still our favorite choice.

The complete range of our counterweighted cranks you can find HERE

We buy from our supplier what’s available, everybody wants first cut, but unfortunately they’re not always available, Thanks for understanding.
If you have a pile of good core crankshafts laying around we’re always interested to buy.

These plastic covers been used for the 1971 model year only, sitting inside next to your rear window left and right.
These cover grills have a double effect.

Firstly giving an airflow over the inside of your rear window to keep damp away, or at least try to.
Secondly it guides the inside cab pressure out created when you close the doors of your beetle.

Originally made from a seventies plastic that starve after all those years we offer these now in a nice fiberglass reproduction.
Later models used 6 independent grills, available in black or white HERE
