Briggs and stratton question

[since73]

I have a question hopefully one of you can answer for me, I have an old flathead briggs 7hp, that came in my tote gote, from googling I believe its a 170000 series?, Its missing the shroud and pull cord assembly. my question, does the shroud have to come from a 7hp briggs or are there others that are interchangeable?, Hopefully this link to the pic will work.

The fan shroud/recoil from the 6hp, 7hp and 8hp Briggs motors are all interchangeable. The older 6hp shrouds that are embossed add a little style to a motor.
