My 1971 914 1.7L came to me with a very not-at-all-stock air cleaner assembly that looks like it was stolen from a Boxster.
I bought a paper-type round air cleaner from ebay that comes with a long bolt, but I think I'm missing a tube or mounting hardware or something. Can anyone post a photo or two showing how the thing is supposed to be connected? Thanks! -marcus |

I would think that anyone with a stock, round 1973 paper filter style air cleaner would know what it looks like and how it mounts. You see, the 1.7 liter engine has an air intake with large intake tube on its side. The earlier models used an oil bath, the 1973 model used a disposable paper filter. Both are circular and look somewhat similar. As far as I know, they have the same mounting hardware. Or maybe they don't. That's why I'm asking.
