I've always avoided sandblasting the breather boxes, just because they have a lot of internal nooks and crannies and I'm not sure that I could be 100% certain that I'd get all the sand out. Any sand that was left behind would have a fairly good chance of eventually finding its way into the engine. OTOH, I HAVE occasionally spend a lot of time with a breather box, a parts washer, and a bent wire to try to get all the condensed crap out of there. You'd be amazed at the stuff that has collected in some of these in 30 years. > 4. Add the rubber plug that Jim mentioned in his post. All I need to do is > find out more about what this is and where to get one. It's more of a cap than a plug. It's probably in the view shown on the site Russ posted. It's surely available because the same part was also used on beetles of the same era. Okay, I looked it up it's VW # 311 115 541. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
