Default Carb mounting

I have a 2001 Dyna wide glide. Looking for the name of the bolt that holds the carburetor on with the crossover tube mine vibrated out and carb will not stay in the intake. There’s two washers that come with this. Believe it’s some type of vent bolt. Anybody know where I can find this?

Are you referring to the breather bolts that go thru the factory A/C back plate and into the heads, part #15 in diagram? If so, part # 29465-99 which should be available at your dealer or any number of online vendors.

Not those. Might’ve helped had I included a picture. So I’m going to attach one now. I believe there are 2 copper washers as well.[img]blob:https://www.hdforums.com/466afe3d-a267-4004-a057-40c86caa11e9[/img]

Having trouble adding photo. But it seems to be the bracket the air cleaner backing plate mounts to has two bolts, one goes in either head. There’s also a crossover tube that runs between them

Hmm, you might have an aftermarket A/C breather setup on your bike. If so, you'll have to identify the mfr/maker and check their replacement parts list. Hope it works out for you.

What you're describing sounds like a "Horseshoe Breather" assembly, which I have as well. Does it look something like this? If so, they're readily available from all the big aftermarket providers (JP Cycle, Drag Specialties, Custom Chrome, etc.). Maybe someone sells the individual components, but I dunno...

If you need to replace that, you might want to rework your breather so it doesn't feed oily air directly into your airbox.

Showing these only for example:
Amazon Amazon


If you want to be environmentally friendly, you can install a separate catch can and vent that back to your air cleaner.

The horseshoe-style vent systems do vent externally, so if that is indeed what the OP has, he's already good to go in that respect. But I certainly agree that's it's the right way to go!
