 |
|
| someone along the life of my bug tossed the fresh air box. only options I have seen are used parts and these used parts are usually not near me. While I am a generally trusting soul, as a rule I like to put my hands on something before I buy it (counterintuitive a bit as I bought the box-less bug in person). is there a new repop available somewhere? |

I looked a lot and only found used ones, and not many of them at that. Just as I was about to pay too much for one the prior owner texted me saying he had found some more parts for the Super Beetle in his attic. Lol. Fresh air box was one of them. I had found some on Ebay and some in the classifieds here. There is a 2 speed blower inside it and I was not able to find any information on how to rebuild or replace that blower if it is truly goofed up (aside from cleaning it) so look for one that might have a working blower in it. Some were reasonably priced and some were ridiculous so be patient as you search around.
