Does the slotted part that the clamp goes around come off?. I bought a air cleaner and it has the smaller center inside but the clamp and the other slotted part that goes around the carb is missing and it doesn't look like it's been cutoff.

That air filter looks like it has had a hard life. The outer circle where the filter clamps onto a carburetor looks like it has been broken off, and also holes are worn, drilled, or something through the bottom outer skin. I don't think that filter is usable as is.

A little welding and it'll be ok. I just wanted to know if that piece is a friction fit as I don't see any indication of welding. I'll look for another donor piece and clamp or I'll make my own if need be.
