DX Gravity vent valve mounting

Post

Back to the top
Hi

I'm converting a carbed late '76 over to DX fuel injection. As it is an early car, it doesn't have any of the mountings for the vent valve or the plastic cover in the wheel house, so I can't just jam the valve under it. It seems that cars before 1979 used a different kind of vent valve, mounted "in line", together with a hefty t-piece like in the photo.

I don't have the skills or access to a welder, so I would prefer using something like this. I don't think it's available from VW anymore, and the part number isn't even searchable. Does anyone know if there's a similar part from newer models, or is critical to use the DX gravity valve?
