They are just a fibre washer. Any will surfice if the correct size. Your local hardware store should have something at a fraction of the price.

I'd rather get the actual motorcycle part.  rarely has the hardware store had anything metric that fits right and there is a good independent hrdwr store here. the Big hdwr stores never have anything.

The correct Mikuni part number is VM26/25, same as the 16029-004. I buy them directly from Mikuni as not to have to pay the for the "Kawasaki/Suzuki bag". The VM26 came as an individual version too, dirt bikes etc. That might be the confusing differences of part numbers you're encountering, might be using a bigger/smaller diameter threaded float seat. And some versions came in different thicknesses. As an example the float needle seat gasket for the 29 smoothbores used a bigger seat and it's gasket was Mikuni B34/52-.5 .8 and 1.0mm thicknesses. If across the threads measures around 8.8xmm, making it a 9mmx1.00 pitch then use as above.

Correct......and that is because they are Mikuni parts, ....not Kawasaki's nor Suzuki's.    Read in the microfiche as if they are simply listed as used by Kawasaki and Suzuki, .........or anybody else who uses same carbs.
