Hi, I'm new to the forum, and to type 181s, and have a question. As I look to the left of my engine and towards the top of the compartment I see a bracket that has holes that look like they accept bolts (threaded). Can anyone tell me what is supposed to be mounted there?

Thanks,
Halfgut

I have a follow-up questionfor this one, if anyone can help: If I wanted to install a second Oil Bath in the empty spot, could I use another of the same kind, or was there a left-side specific air cleaner made? Also, is there a source for the double rubber elbow that hooks the carb to both air cleaners?

thingshop used to have both of these items, get out your wallet. yes, they are specific. the rubber elbow is siamesed in the middle and the air cleaner has a different top part with no preheat intake. the bottom part is the same.

one could easily make an og thing oilbath filter work. You would still need the fance tube to the carb. Try Mike Basso, he has alot of good parts at a good price.
