I have been eyeballing them for awhile. The bonus is they come with the rubber gasket, better sealing. I think they would be perfect on my 1438 motor.

Just curious - where do you mount the throttle cable bracket (2 bolts)? The cast doesn't appear drill - threaded?

On my 1438 I do not need throttle cable brackets, the throttle linkage bracket is mounted on the cam tower .

1800 def has two holes as shown above - and confirmed with the seller.. their do not have the holes.
So next option would be - drill my own!

Yea, the bosses appear to be there and you will have to drill and tap them....don't drill all the way through, though.
