<VV> LM Desert Air Cleaner

[Ken Clark]

I have a '65 model Corsa with what I call a desert air cleaner.  This is in addition to the circular one on the center of the engine.  It connects to an oil bath located in left rear of engine compartment.  I've seened others occasionally, but it doesn't look like the one you are describing.  Ken Clark

> We are parting out a late coupe that has the Desert Air Cleaner attachment on the firewall (air intake). It's a large sheetmetal piece with a huge rubber oval-shaped boot on it. This piece screws to the air intake area in front of the engine. I don't have the other parts that made up the complete system but this may be a good start at getting this rarely seen option.
