Check flea bay

i did.... some are 8.00 and some were 20.00 what, do you think, is a reasonable expected price

Free would be great but if you need the part then !!!!! place a bit and see what happens... look at the pics very close and bid on the best looking.. ask questions of the seller....Is it compleat is it rusty does it come with the mounting bolts....some of these guys sell parts they do't even know what they are or where they go. I will try to remember to take mine off and get some pics

If I remember correctly from the picture you posted after cleaning out the carbs of trash you already have the box and the center bracket with the stud. You need just the filter cover I think.

Yes, here's the post- viewtopic.php?p=31050#p31050

Then in that same thread you posted a picture of the air filter cover- viewtopic.php?p=31164#p31164

It looks to me if you have those parts all you need is a filter, a washer and a nut to hold the cover on.

He also needs the inner cover and nut that holds the filter in place.

It looks to me like he has everything but a nut and number 5 gasket and number 6 gasket under the top cover if it aint there, well and a air filter of course.

Part #2 is the filter. Does the OEM filter have a closed top? I have a K&N filter that has the depicted cover and it is removable and has a seperate nut to hold it to the base. In my shop manual there is a picture in the maintenance section showing a metal cover on the filter inside the air box.

I have a K&N and an OEM filter, both have a top glued to the filter element.

You need just the filter and two nuts to fit that center stud. One nut for the filter. The other for that cover you showed.

thanks.... so does a nut come with the filter? or i have to get that seperatly.... and will any nut work? i have the wing nut that attached the cover...
is that the type of nut i need for the filter... if it don't come with one.??

 

[dan filipi]

The wing nut holds the cover down which also holds the filter in place.
