There is no special AC air cleaner, they just rotated the normal one, but this usually didn't work very well. Personally, I had the type 3 AC, so I'd just take it off and put things back to their useful and functional norm. > Is this a "common" part so maybe I could buy one used?..ya know fits all > 68-71??? Not sure which part you're referring to. I have several good used '71 air cleaners here. The metal extension should be easy to come up with. The rubber connecting bellows will be harder to find in good condition. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
