fuel filter type?

I'm sure this has been covered before but it did not turn up in a search. What type of fuel filter is good for a BN6? I see Moss offers two types, a glass one, called a regulator/filter, with replaceable elements, and a shinny metal one, but not the garden variety plastic filter, which is currently in my car. Any recommendations?

,I Prefer a glass one, called a regulator/filter, with replaceable elements, or the clear plastic one refereed to as the Volkswagen filer. These let you see the fuel flow and any crud build up inside too--Keoke

Hey Nevets,
Got a BN6 too and I use the simple, easy to replace, clear plastic one. Sounds like that is what you already have. I use a Facet electonic pump with its own small inline filter mounted right in the pump inlet and then the clear plastic one up in the engine compartment. Have thought one of them fancy ones would look nice but sticking with what works well.
Regards,
Mike

PS- what's your car # ? Mine is BN6L964 and Randy has BN6L942, made a day or
so apart in 1958.

Mine is BN6L3458...different batch than yours and Randy's, but still the cool 2-seater.
Think I'll stick with the clear plastic type fuel filter (VW filter as Keoke calls it).
Thanks
