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.

QUOTE(spankmeister7 @ Dec 31 2011, 02:52 PM)  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. It really depends on how much stuff has been changed by previous owners. I'm sure that when mine moves to other hands, they will find many things completely insane and impossible to describe online without photos, especially after I get done with my new air cleaner setup. . it will torture Porsche purists forever (evil laugh).
