Stock plastic screen? You mean the one on top of the plastic airbox? That helps some problems, but not the bad ones. It's the leaves that get thru the outside louvers and into the plenum that cause the problems. I think there was a plastic screen just under the louvers in early cars which was gone by '68, but I don't think there was ever such a thing in the 71-3s. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
