VW Bus air cleaners

Well that shows just about everything from how it is nutted to the lower head stud, to where each end goes through the tin pieces. Just slide under your bus and take a gander at the same area.

I didn't have mine hooked up when I bought the bus and I must be missing parts. I have the correct oil bath air cleaner and the front tin with the pass-through hole, but I don't have the tube that the hose connects to. I wanted to put it back correctly when I put the new engine in and was wondering what/where the missing part(s) go. I also noticed that the small deflector tin has a hole in it where mine does not.

I don't remember my heater box having the little pipe, but I'll double-check once I get back home (out of town).

I think I get it now. Since these things aren't all that easy to come by I may try to fab one up and drill the plate myself.

Any idea if this oil bath pipe with the extra little tube on it is stock or someone's modification? This is the second pipe I've found just like it.

I've seen a few like that but as far as I know, they were all previous owner hacks.

I don't believe I have ever seen 2 that matched.

Thanks. I figured they were hacks as well, but happened to find two that looked the same and wanted to check.

I've wanted one of those ^^^^^ since I was knee-high to a grasshopper. There it is in all its glory. Sheesh, a thing of beauty.

What's the deal with the 261 129 613B air cleaner? It looks similar to a bastard air cleaner but with a breather tube. It's also listed as a type 1 part. Did Beetles have suspended air cleaners?

Not sure on the breather connection on that air cleaner but the Type 1 application may refer to Ghias?

Check out the "Series K", and then the "K7" on the next page. The twin air cleaners for 1965 type 1 should be an eye opener....

The 1968 bulletin lists using the type 2 611 & 612. If the 613 is a later one it would be for later type 1.
