Topic: Air cleaner assembly from a Fiat 1100R, early 124 sedan and possibly

[zippyfiat]

a 1200 or 1500 cabriolet.  This is for my 1300/124 and these air cleaner assemblies are similar enough to be used.  They are for a single sidedraft Solex 32PHH carburetor as originally fitted by Fiat.   Does anyone have contacts with wrecking/salvage yards around Europe that might have one of these cars being parted out??

I am not having any success finding one of these so far and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Gil,

  Did you get the email I sent to you about this yesterday? Is it something that will work for you?

Hi Jeff, did you get the email I sent back to you yesterday?  Thank you so much for the tip. 

I already have one of those air cleaner housings you sent me the link on.  It is a Fispa unit designed for a 45DCOE carb.  I have had it for a year or so and I will use it as a last resort if I can't find an 1100R one (or one of the other cars that used the same one).  At least it is somewhat period correct looking.

This is another example of how a seemingly simple Fiat part can be so hard to find.  I have to wonder what might be around somewhere like Argentina or eastern Europe?  Maybe they had some models that used the Solex 32PHH?  If I knew what they were, I could do a google search on them.

I received Guy's air cleaner, thanks.  I have just had two more of them offered to me, which I can't use now.  If there is anyone out there looking for an air cleaner for a 1300/124 or an 1100 R or early 124 sedan that use a sidedraft Solex PHH or Weber DCOF carb, send me a PM and I will put you in touch with the person who can get them.
