Default Air Filter Replacement


Hello groups,
I have a Weber Progressive 32/36 Carb on my beetle. Does anyone know where
i can buy a replacement air filter with the United Kingdom? (or can be
outside UK, buts that my preference)

It's a squarish type element, but i can only seem to find a whole
replacement (including chrome top and bottom)

Any ideas or help - thanks all

Demon Tweeks will sell what you want, but it'll be a fight to get them to
know where it is. If it's not standard they have a bit of trouble.

If I were you I would measure its height, width and length (of at least what
is should be, as they do shrink over the years), then phone them up and ask
for a filter for your carb. When he says he hasn't got one, ask for it by
size and see if that helps, then try other carbs, like IDF, DRLA, that sort
of thing, but get him to measure it.

Remember the DT motto, "The customer is always wrong", so push for what you
want as many different ways as you can.

Good luck
Gaz
