Black Louvered Pancake Air Filter - Standard Solex Carburettor Air Filter (145mm X 53mm)

This louvred black air filter is a stylish and functional performance upgrade for Solex carburettors used on classic Volkswagen engines. Designed to enhance both appearance and airflow, this air filter features a black louvred steel top that provides additional protection against heat while allowing excellent air intake efficiency.

Inside, a washable foam filter element ensures superior filtration of dust and debris while maintaining unrestricted airflow for optimal engine performance. The filter is also equipped with a crankcase breather vent connection (Ø12.75mm), allowing you to route excess crankcase gases back into the intake for clean and efficient engine operation.

With its 2″ (52mm) neck and compact 55mm overall height, this air filter fits directly onto Solex carburettors and similar models without modification — ideal for use in engine bays with limited clearance or dual-carb setups.
