8KCAB Anyone recognize the air intake on this cowl?

[Bartman]

Hi all,

Trying to find cowl parts for my 150hp 8KCAB project. This ebay listing has the upper and lower pieces but I don't recognize the air inlet shape. I'm pretty sure it should be the same as the -320 powered Citabrias. Anyone recognize it in the photos? I'm pretty sure it's supposed to use the round air filter with the flat mounting plate with the two screws but the lower cowl in the listing uses what looks like a flat mounted inlet filter.

I'm looking through my parts manuals, that lower cowl appears to be part #7-1469-2. The Citabria parts manual shows that cowl but doesn't specify years. The Decathlon parts manual shows that cowl to be 1974 and newer for 150 HP models. For 180 HP Super D's, the manual shows part #7-1482-2 which appears to be the same except for the cooling slits on the sides.

Is this the filter assembly that everyone uses for that style of air inlet? The whole thing just bolts in and there's no other parts needed? I'm back to trying to identify parts I don't have and finding the cowl pieces means I'm just hunting around to see what is missing (like the landing light assembly, wires, clamps, etc.). Thanks!
