With an Hitachi Twin Carb (GX-style) engine a RHD car there is clearance aplenty to fit air cleaners. But on a LHD car fitting an air cleaner it a bit tricky because the brake and clutch cylinders are on the left side. But the Twin Hitachis are easily fitted to LHD than a twin-Weber setup.

Overview

GX air cleaners are different from 510 SSS Twin Carb, and take a different filter element.
