Henry,

Thanks for changing the subject line to something appropriate, but in 
the future, please also delete irrelevant material from the tail end 
of your post. You forwarded a complete list digest, which had nothing 
to do with your request, and I believe you did this twice.

It's not totally clear what you're asking for, because the word 
manifold, for our cars, usually refers to the part under the carb. 
Since you mention the air cleaner, I'm guessing that you're after the 
left hand part of the air cleaner. Unfortunately, I believe there 
were several different German versions of this dual carb air cleaner, 
plus at least one Brazilian one.

If this is the part you're after, please post the part # off the top 
of the RH part that you have. You may find someone who can help you, 
but it's a long shot. You're more likely to find someone who has a 
complete LH/RH set and is unwilling to split them up.

If you're after an original part for your car, tell us what year you 
have and maybe we can figure out which version you should be looking 
for.

If you're looking for one of the under-carb intake manifolds, then 
there are also several versions of these, so again, we'll need to 
know which style you need (year, single port, double port, balance 
pipe style, etc.)
