[QUOTE="starbiscuit, post: 612896, member: 18416"] I think the wax stat would be on the other side of your intake pipe in your photo. You should be able to see it with the lid off the filter body. The fan-shroud flap mechanism on my bus (1970 1600 SP) has a clamp that looks like it's meant to push/pull a bowden cable, which presumably permits the air filter flap to be opened by (effectively) the engine thermostat, but isn't connected to anything. The wax stat works fine for me; it holds the flap open at low airflow (revs) once the engine bay ambient temperature is high enough. Or maybe it's the other way around; at low airflow (revs) when it's cold the flap closes by a bob weight that makes the air filter draw from the warm air pipe that passes through the rear tinware and ends near the cylinder fins.
