This is the original air cleaner from my 11/60 ragtop beetle. Early 61’s didn’t have the breather tube.

That one is basically just an O-ring. Where it sits on that pipe, it is 36mm in diameter and the O-ring is about 2mm thick.

I'm not sure if it was this thread or not but it's been mentioned that perhaps the Knecht filters aren't the best to use because of the diameter of the velocity stack is only 35mm on the inside. Mann filters are 44mm there.

This one from Wolfsburg West:

http://www.wolfsburgwest.com/cart/DetailsList.cfm?ID=ZVW25

is what I installed onto the 12/61 air cleaner in my 62 bug - I got it a long time ago, so they may have changed some over the years, but I think it's about the same.

Those are water transfer decals, much more durable than the sticker type decal my 62 originally had.

compared to a factory photo

ggisawesome

I have oil bath air filter I picked up this weekend from the Pomona Fairplex Volkswagen Swapmeet.

I want to restore it myself and I'm looking for the german decal that goes in the front of the filter. Does anybody know where I can buy a sticker for the 1961-1966 oil bath air filters?

Online I can only find the 1967 oil bath air filter stickers.

Yes I am aware that the original is directly painted in the filter but mine is already faded and scratch off.

Here is a link to a similar filter: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/album_page.php?pic_id=1067716

And also does anybody know where I can get the clips that hold the top down?

Any help is appreciated!!! I will post pics of when I try to restore my oil bath filter.

Thanks,

Yeah, I think it's probably a mismatch. How do the interior bits line up, where center tube meets the lid?

However, with a 113 part number on the lid... 113 would indicate that the part originated on a model 113. If it was some Industrial-only part, it should be a 12x number.

In the past I've had luck doing a search in ETKA for old VW parts but no such luck on this lid.

I had also thought of the industrial engine angle so I took a look in the Technical documentation and found this picture:

It is as close to the shape and anything else I have seen so maybe the top half is a 126A industrial lid. Since the bottom half has only two clips not 4 as in the picture, and the 8/60 date code, I think it is a mismatched air cleaner.

Thoughts?

Oh, I know what you're saying. But what I remember seeing was later model larger-bodied air cleaners with a flat-top like this one. If I dig up anything older I'll post them.

It's 2.15 am right now and I should be in bed, but I dropped in on this thread to say I think that odd filter top (with the parallel sides before it domes) is either from an industrial engine, or one of those "model" engines they use for photographs in manuals.

Check with the photo gallery, I know I've seen this config before and it was on the Samba.

I have seen that oddball filter on a customer's Beryl green '61. First one I'd seen...

VWLady · Posted: Tue Sep 04, 2012 7:45 pm Post subject:

Yeah, I don't think I had the other clip on in that picture.

Thanks for your ideas. Maybe someone else will have seen this and can chime in.

The only reason I said it doesn't look it fits very well is this photo:

Application - yeah, it has to be a Bug. The crank breather was added in like June 61, so before that.

VWLady · Posted: Tue Sep 04, 2012 7:37 pm Post subject:

It fits every bit as good as the domed top and seems to seal just fine. With the VW stamp on the top it's clearly a VW part, but what application?

I thought of some other model but I'm really only left with bus or Ghia during this time frame but those are very different.

The mystery continues!

The bottom half, yeah definately early 61 air cleaner. But that top half, yeah it's hard to say, I don't recall seeing one like that before! It also doesn't seem like it fits very well, and with the colour being different... I'd suspect some kind of a transplant like you said.
