Air Horn Gasket for a Carter W-1? - 10/24/20 01:24 AM
It looks like I'll be overhauling a Carter W-1 574s.
I think I have everything I need except an air horn gasket, and I can't find one anywhere.
Not one single kit I see that lists or shows the contents has it.
The only mention I can even find of it is on this very site, right here:

Thanks Dave!
Air horn gasket:
1932~1938 - not used
1939~1949 - Carter part number 20-71 (small round gasket which is fitted in the recess in the top of the cast iron bowl where the chamber of the air horn fits). This part should be in rebuilding kits.
So... does any one out there know where I can get this gasket? As above, it is Carter part number "20-71".
Barring that, does anyone know the specs for the gasket? Composition? Thickness?
It seems to me this will be important as I believe the main nozzle runs through both the main body of the carburetor and the air horn, so proper alignment will be an issue
Thanks for any help you can provide.
