As Brent said [pure crap] I have 2 originals ones that 1 came on my 180A and the other on my 170b . Both Briggs bodys. Seems Briggs used them more. The repro's [some of them will pinch your cowlband and but a DENT into it.]I came across a fellow who learned the hard way. After that he had to use 2 flat washers between the screws to build up the part going over the cowlband... Needless to say it looks like shit... Original ones i see going for over $50.00 when seen forsale.
