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

Stainless steel louvred air cleaner designed for standard Solex PICT carburettors fitted to aircooled Volkswagen engines. Featuring a polished stainless steel housing with classic louvred top design, this air cleaner gives your engine bay a period performance look while improving airflow compared to many standard paper filter assemblies.

The louvred top helps direct airflow into the carburettor while shielding the washable foam filter element inside. The reusable foam filter provides effective filtration and can be cleaned and re-oiled for long service life, making it ideal for both everyday driving and custom VW builds.

Designed with a 2″ neck for fitment to standard PICT carburettors and includes a crankcase breather connection for engines using the original breather hose setup.

A popular dress-up and performance accessory for Beetles, Buses, Karmann Ghias, and custom aircooled engine builds.
