Air Filter & Exhaust

The A type with the thermo valve connection for manifold vacuum is the better match for your bus.

My VW engine manual dates from about 1969 with updates to about August 1974..

A 1700 " T4"engine is listed for the T2 in May 1972.

August 1973.. the T2/1700 is superseded by an T2/1800

 

Bet they’re fun to service.

 

No shelf but I can easily knock something up, the filter not heavy just to catch it.

Cleaned the Beetle Filter ready for sale so on the hunt now for an original filter.

Cheers for all advice & help

 

If it was me I’d get a genuine airbox and stand from a bus that’s being cut up for parts.

 

This is the type of stand for the paper filter airbox

 

Yeah that's the plan, can easily fabricate something to hold the housing or cut out of a scrap bus.

 

If you can find one, go for the later airbox with the paper filter in.

 

how many of those vacuum ones are still present or working

 

I have the shelf too in the picture with the filter

 

Do you do anything in wool, with a longer leg?

 

I have tweed if that’s any good

 

Excellent. I'll be round for a fitting.

 

Arris tweed?

 

do you dress to the left or right , I can wash a hand accordingly

 

Both sides, according to my mood...

 

Sorted found one , engine & Box going back in this weekend so will install and fabricate a shelf to hold the filter.

 

You're missing the wire catch on the end? And the big rubber grommet?

 

Oh bit late to the party I have a paper filter stand lol

 

I removed them whilst I was prepping and painting.
I also made the stand removable.

 

@BarryDean This would save you some fabrication time
