The books and the AN fiche don't seem to cover this,
the bottom bracket fits over 2 studs, no problem there.
The top single fastener bracket is the mystery to me.
Does the bracket mount on the engine side or battery side of the frame web?
Apparently I was remiss in taking photo's, have had too many thick ears since and just don't recall.
A photo posted of each side of the mounting would be most appreciated.
MKIIA may be the same since it has the big black plastic airbox too.
My gratitude in advance.
All the Best.
 
The top fastener bracket goes to the front of the frame web on a mk111, at least it does on mine. Sorry I can't post photos, I'm a technophobe :?

The top air filter bracket definitely mounts on the forward side of the frame web. There is also a 3/16 inch thick spacer that goes between the bracket and the frame. The spacer is the same exact part number as that used on the rear fender bracket.
 
On my MK2A the bracket is engine side

Just behind the joint of the carb body & cap, there is the rusty tab & bolt head just below the rubber grommet for the wiring harness through the steel web plate...
 
Gentlemen, I thank you for the help.
Somewhere upstairs I have a labeled plastic bag which contains the mounting hardware.
I simply haven't stumbled upon it yet.
All the best.
