Image circled, just wondering what this is for??? It's underneath and just to the left of the oil pressure sender.

I'm pretty sure this is a blind threaded hole that replicates the right hand side of the block which mounts a brace that goes to the bottom of the bell housing, I guess it was done to facilitate the starter being fitted on the other side for different applications.

I've tried to have a look at mine but I can't see very well for the carbs & air filter assembly.  From what I can see and, what I remember, I'm pretty sure that there is nothing bolted to it on mine.
