A little update. I got the engine all back together and wanted to do something different with the air cleaner. I decided to go with a stock one. I figured VW put a lot of thought into what was best. I bought a 1972 one off ebay. It's the last year of oil bath cleaners and it's made of metal. In 1973 they went with a plastic one with a paper element.

It had a flapper inside the snout for cold weather running. I don't run it in the winter so I cleaned it up a bit.

I cut the old snout off and made a new one.

All painted and mounted. There's only one problem, it's too tall for the body to fit back on. I'm not worried, I have a plan.

Step one in the solution. That's as far as I got today.
