Hi,
I need a picture posted that shoes the 1.7 liter paper filter housing.
I currently have the oil bath.

I may switch over, but I need a pic to make sure I am looking at the right ones.

here you go.....

So, I got the airfilter housing from Fitzbain at Hershey.
I have looked around locally, including the foreign car parts place....

What is this airfilter part number???
What did it come off of?
Is there a VW bus part number (or year/model) I can use??

I cant find it anywhere locally and it should just be a FRAM number or whoever...

A little help, a few manufacturers (Fram, STP, etc) and the part numbers would be a huge help.

Didn't someone post a link to somewhere where they converted an oil bath to a replaceable element?

...purchased that air filter a few years ago from Stable Energies here in NJ. I first called a Porsche dealer, asked for the part, told me the price was around $75. I laughed, the salesman laughed then he told me to call Bob over at Stable Energies. Bob sold the same air filter for $15.

I just called Bob asking him if he had any more sitting around. He told me to drop him an email and he'd let me know. (he was busy, didn't have the time to poke around).

His number is 973-773-3177

I could check if there is a part number on the filter when I get home....

They no longer exist, except for maybe one or two that may have been ratholed by someone. There's a NAPA filter that'll work, but it has far less filter area. NAPA Gold part number 2110. The number furnished us by AA isn't even close. The only companies that ever made them were Knecht and possibly Purolator. The oil bath filters better anyway. Good luck. The Cap'n
