Hi
Ok i have just received my type 3 air filters, they look as though they are the right size but when i talked to the guy in the shop he said type three engine have a spindle that the filter goes on and you have a nut on the end that nips the filter together.
After slumping in horror can anyone tell me how you fit these to a standard beetle engine as i can see that a nut and bolt would keep the filter together but there is no lip as on my buggy filter that a clip can go on and then be tightened .How do i do it as if i take the filter out of the packaging i cant take it back.
cheers
