Does anyone have a source for new air filters that will fit a '73 1.7 914? I've been searching, but the only place I can find that lists that application is AA. Unfortunately, the ones they sell aren't an exact fit -- they are the same outside diameter and same height, but the inside diameter is much larger and won't seal properly inside the air filter housing. I could make an adapter out of sheet aluminum, but would rather have the correct fitment instead.
BTW, I called AA and asked them about the filters they sell not fitting correctly. Their response was basically "we know, but no one has anything better; and we're not going to bother making adapters, either." |
