The DRLA carbs have the fuel inlet sitting slightly above the top of the carb. With cross bar linkages this is not a big deal because there is a plate that mounts between the carb top and the bottom of the air cleaner base. This creates just enough space so the air cleaner base clears the fuel inlet. I could have made a spacer but I decided to make a whole new set of air cleaners.
The tops will have another .250" taken off the thickness leaving them at around .500". The bottom will also have .250" taken off, but only around the edge so the spacer is built into the air cleaner. They will eventually have a red anodized VW logo carved into the top but the rest will be polished. This is all being done on a manual mill with no CNC. Even the VW logo.
