Not oil bath and not sure they would fit if you could even find them but what about these?

I'll bet those are REALLY hard to find; and expensive if you do.

That is a nice looking air filter setup for dual carbs.

Aussie Merc, As far as Air Cleaners I made some up years ago. I had a Machine shop in the bay area, Cal. I know you were interested in the oil bath type. The ones I made up used a K&N Filter. They are made from Billet Aluminum Mtrl. Center shaft, Acorn nut for the Lid/Top Stainless & polished. Two each set screws to hold in place are also Stainless. For more info look @ Stans 34 on Forum. They are in the Photos. Stan

Aussie Merc I used a thickstun air cleaner housing and made my filter from an oversize kn filter. No it’s not an oil bath, I haven’t seen a oil bath for dual carbs. If photo doesn’t attach pm and I’ll send it to your email
