I used ti think that all oil batch air cleaners were held in place by a very long screw with a wing-nut thing brazed to the top. Knew of one very early 914 that had a simple, but very long screw (no wing nut), but have recently come across another '70 model & a '71 model that have a simple screw (albeit - long).
Were these "wingless" screws normal for the early cars? Pat Yeah, I'm allowed to be here tonight. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_flagge6.gif) You know, I almost flunked German in my early days of college, but I know enough to know that even "ghutt" ain't correct! Oh, are we speaking phoenetic German? My mishtak! Or does that sound like something from "Mutts"? Regardless, can it be assumed that all screws came with brazed wingnuts? Through all of the early years? I'm not so certain. |
