Q & A: Part Documentation

John,

You were so kind to reply earlier, I'd like to ask for a bit more help.

I am having difficulty finding Mk2-specific information.
Specifically, I do not know how to be certain what air intake manifold and
air cleaner canister were original equipment.

For example, I was recently told by an established UK parts company,
"The inlet manifold is exactly the same as the standard TD but bored out

accept the 1.5" carbs."
That supplier also wrote,
"As for the air cleaner cannister, I am not 100% sure if the original was
actually larger, as the connection pipe on the manifold did not differ."

How can I tell -- especially when dealing with a remote supplier and I
cannot examine the parts?
Does documentation of the parts exist?
Part numbers, dimensions, specifications?
Relative diameters and heights of the air filters, for example?
Differences in dimensions of air intake manifolds?
Even comparative pictures?

I would be extremely grateful for any help you could give.

Best regards, Steve
