stoopid parts question

[hareless at gmail.com (Sean Whalen)]

Karl, I don't see a reason they would be any different as far as function.
I know the 85 filters are usually  about 3" in diameter, whereas the 81 is
probably an inch and a half around.  The banjo bolt sizes are all that
really matter.  I guess that didn't help if you don't know the sizes
already.
