Carburetor part question

Rebuilding a carburetor on one of my 1960 F600s, and I need to find a part.
Carburetor is a Holley two barrel. The part is the inlet screen at the fuel inlet fitting on the bowl. From what I can find, the Ford part number is 8BA 9938-A.

Have had no luck at parts stores. Looked at my parts pile, and the only screen I have is larger in diameter and length. Checked the part number at Green Sales Co., and they do not have it. Any ideas?

I know that this is "belt and suspenders" as there is a filter element in the can on the fuel pump, but I like to keep things original where practical

Have you tried Holley's web site. They have a good site for comparing part numbers. I used them before i bought my carburator from Summit Racing.

Yep, checked Holley website. Just about any kind of part shown except the inlet screen.

Still looking.
