About this item
100% complete ’67 VW Beetle oil bath air cleaners. These include the original and desired flapped weights that are often times removed. Air cleaners ship drained of oil. You will need to fill it to the required level before installation. I’m more than happy to walk you through anything if needed. My goal is that you receive an German ’67 oil bath air cleaner that is as close to NOS quality as possible. Note: Recent slight increase in cost is due to the rising cost of supplies.

Why
As some may know, I own my grandfather’s L620 Savannah Beige ’67 Volkswagen Beetle. I’ve worked as a visual designer / art director for the last 11 years. Over the last 7, I’ve been working on the ’67. During that time, I fell in love with creating real tangible objects and working with my hands. I’m obsessed with small details and the idea of bringing something old back to its former glory. Thus, the idea came to mind to offer air cleaner restoration services. I do have a special interest in the ’67 model Beetle; however, I can restore any year if it’s stock. I take a lot of pride in the work I do.

General
Every step is taken to assure that your restored German ’67 oil bath air cleaner is good as NOS. However, you have to remember that these parts are over 40 years old — and the abuse or neglect they’ve seen during their life is always a factor, even after taken down to bare metal. This alone also renders some beyond practical limits of restoration. Finding good core pieces is becoming more difficult and more expensive and it sometimes takes 3 cores to make 1 unit.
