This is correct. The early Series 3's had the dual Zenith carbs, but
only the GT's had the "Batwing" air cleaner assembly that you are
looking for. The ST's still had the mesh filters atop each carb. This
"Batwing" air cleaner assembly is very hard to find since only the early
Series 3 GT's had them. I've only had a couple of them pass through my
hands in all my wheeling and dealing over the years. The later Series 3
GT's and Series 4 GT's had the single Solex carb with a rubber bladder
that attached to the air cleaner as mentioned before. Good Luck! - Ian
