Carb Inlet Filters

Okay i have a bad carb on my car and proceeded to rip it apart today to rebuild it. I have the kit and everything.
As soon as i got it apart i realized it has little fuel filters called "Carb Inlet Screens" according to mazdatrix. And mazdatrix doesent sell them outright.
The 2 we took out are all broken and ripped so i need new ones. Do any of you know where to get them?

Please help
THanks chris

You do not REALLY need them, all the Nikki rebuilds I have had never had them. If you run a good fuel filter that is all you need.

if you really need them, I have a couple lying around. Not sure the shipping cost would justify it though.

They have a 50/50 chance of being destroyed whenever I do a rebuild. Sometimes they're so corroded they have holes in them.
I don't put them in the performance carbs. If you're concerned, there's nothing wrong with running an additional filter before the carb. Just be sure it's large enough not to restrict flow.
