Question Air Pump Filter > Size? Where to get one?

I was checking this Air Pump Filter out:

http://rx7.com/store/rx7/FCAirPumpFilter.html

You can also see it here, it's the 6th item in the list:

http://rx7.com/store/rx7/fcintake.html

I need to get one of these small filters for my Air Pump, and I am getting no reply from the people at RX7.com -- I am located in Argentina and it seems that they won't ship it down here or something.

So, my question is... where else should I look for one? Does anyone know what the size of the filter is?


Any information/feedback will be greatly appreciated


-Dan

There might be something in the archives or in old threads as to the size, off the top of my head I would say it is around 5/8ths I used to use one but got rid of all that accessory stuff long ago, hehe!

Would something like this one work/fit properly?

Is it too big? Too small?

IIRC it's a filter for breather vent on the valve covers of old American V8's.

if you can't get anything in your area a oil rag, bit of pipe, and worm clamp works well.

Yes, considering this is how it is on a stock S5.

They do... but before I buy I need to know what size I should look for!

Check the links I posted earlier -- which one of those would fit better? 9mm or 12mm?
