Air filter bracket '63 double cab refitting

[renka]

After hours of searching these pages I found one pic of a lefthand fitted bracket to mount the filterelbow to.

Can anyone help me with measurements to refit the bracket at the correct position please

Thanks in advance

Cheers René

I'd mount assembly to carburetor / fan shroud (if your engine is in) & it should get you real close.

Edit:
Thread above us for bus. Bracket should be same distance from rear... but I see the left side channel is bigger in a double cab:

If you're running a stock-ish engine, you might consider going with a slightly earlier style air filter which mounts on the fanshroud instead of the roof of the engine compartment.

I put these in all my buses, just simpler to install and remove.
Its a type 261 air cleaner, stamped on the upper round air housing.

Some have a 261 part number, some a 211.
