There are (at least) 3 versions.

ZA H2 should have
bolt AUC 1541  (two stepped bolt)
w/ 2x fibre washers AUC5026  and brass washer AUC5027 underhead (F-B-F)
  and thin fibre AUC2130 between bowl and body

Later carbs used  a different bolt arrangement:
Bolt AUC1835 (single step fat bolt)
w dished steel washer AUC1887 underhead
2x AUC 1584 rubber grommet

Later stud arrangement is:
Stud ("banjo pillar") AUC1887
fibre AUC1884 (I think fibre, may be copper, not specified except as 
"plain") underhead to body
Flat steel washer AUC1889 against pillar hex
AUC1584 grommet x2
Flat steel washer AUC1888
Nut AJD8206Z

I believe all of these are interchangeable AS  SETS - but it is V common 
that they are mismatched and incomplete.

As I always recommend, lubricate the threads and bolt underhead with 
Lubriplate, and soak the fibre washers in warm oil for a few hours to 
eliminate leakage problems.
