Fumes- aftermarket air filter - breather solution?

[philstar]

Hi guys, my 1600 twinport has an aftermarket airfilter on and the breather pipe coming off the oil filler neck is just some garden hose venting down through the tinware.

I am getting fumes through the heating - I have replaced the heat exchangers and piping and connections already, and have read the other posts about the importance of the breather system, however I cannot find a stock airfilter setup anywhere to replace this cone filter I have.

Is there a way I can vent the fumes into the aftermarket air filter - can I drill a hole in the top and route the hosepipe into the top?

Has anyone solved this problem before?

My engine has a standard PICT34 carb setup.

if you still have the pedistal to fit a stock filter to then thats the best way to go ,stock filter for a stock engine!!!!! other than that then drill a hole in the top of the filter and stick the hose in and see if it works.

I bought a new standard carb, I want the bus to be stock it was totally unreliable the way I bought it. Where can I get a pedestal and standard air setup? I have found the plastic elbows but not sure what else I need? I'm quite happy to chuck the aftermarket filter!

Won't a Beetle air filter fit if the pedestal is missing?

Oh yes, I wondered what that shelf was for in other photos! no mine has gone, it came with twin kadrons but they needed a serious overhaul so I decided to go stock. A beetle air filter, good idea, thanks for the advice guys I will look into the options

Beetle air filter won't fit, too tall above the carb to fit in a bay. Sorry

If you buy a stock bay air filter, you could either buy a stand cut from a van being broken or converted to twin carbs, or you could fabricate a way of securing it in the engine bay.
