I recently picked up a 74 thing that had a small fire in engine compartment but managed to melt the plastic parts of the flapper deal on intake side of canister and I did some searching but I can not find any resource for finding replacement plastic parts to rebuild the stock oil bath air cleaner. I am putting a good amount of work into the car and do not want to cut corners and put an aftermarket cleaner on the car trying for as original as possible.

Any help or direction on parts that would work for this please let me know

Maybe contact Mike Basso at Thingparts, he may have some used part that will work.

I tried to find those plastic guides for the flappers several years ago and failed to find a source. Maybe just buy a used air cleaner, they are plentiful so don't cost much.
