Title: Air filter solex
Post by: califkid_66 on Friday,June 14, 2019, 07:58:48 AM
I ordered a ramflow air filter from Australia on the website it says fits Europa with renault engine solex bolt on so i ordered one and after ordering and paying i received a email saying it was processed then another email saying there was was a mix up asking me if i would accept recieving a blank plate and make the holes myself to fit my carb
They advertise a product on their website but the email comes from one of their distributor and says the product is not available anymore i told them the reason i ordered was it was bolt on i didn’t want to fabricate one
Now does anyone know where i can get bolt on air filter for solex disda35
thanks don’t wanna put the original one back on

Unlikely to find one.

Not what you want to hear but it's pretty simple to use the stock air filter housing as a pattern.

If you switch to a DGV, there are lots of bolt-on air filters available for them.

Sorry im still a bit frustrated about the insurance im waiting on them
But for the air filter it was nice and i figured at the price they were asking  it was
pretty decent  and they advertise it as Europa Renault with solex so at least one company made it i guess im gonna make my own
