Why a BBT recirculating ball steering box?
In the search for a good steering box, BBT literally travelled the whole world, only to discover that what they were looking for simply no longer exists. The steering box technology of the original VW Beetle is no longer used in mass production anywhere. With it, the correct machining method for this type of steering box has been lost for good.
Modern CNC machines can make something similar, but not really correct. Close, but just not good enough.
That is why BBT moved on to the next generation: the recirculating ball steering box. The housing has been kept as close as possible to the original, so the original look is preserved.
After five years of development and testing, the BBT steering box is now available. It fits in the same place and with the same mounting hardware as the original steering box.
A worthy replacement for safe, high-quality steering. Finally you can drive your classic Volkswagen with a direct, active steering response.
