Thats correct. Now I wish I would’ve gotten a close up picture.

There are few Nikki carbs up for sale on eBay. They are always available, many times I thought of buying one rather then chasing for a SD40 or DD40 carb. Unfortunately not much information available on them in regards to their compatibility with our Cruiser motors.
 
These carburetors came in old Nissan Datsun models ... Sorry for blurry image

Had to dig this out. I always thought it was the same....wrong!!!
The glass is larger and covers the holes on the clamp down bracket on the card. Hope this helps.

I've got an old stout carb that has the same nikki in the glass
 
Hi Paul, yes this sight glass was from an old stout pickup as well.
 
I have a whole large window carb (Blue plate if I remember right) for sale if you're interested. Someone sand blasted the carb and blurred the window a bit. Pm me if you're interested.

I'd be interested in the carb if the others pass, have a friend in Billings he could pick it up
 
I just received info on this glass and see it's cast glass. Now I understand why it's so expensive to reproduce. I'll check out an original at Mark's Off Road but it looks like I will probably make these out of 1/8" clear flat glass.
you ever get any of these glass pieces reproduced?
 
A few NOS glass pieces in the factory wrapping came up in Cyprus a few months ago, maybe even a year ago. I don't think I bought all that were found.
Selling one or know where I can grab another one?
 
@andybudge may be working on something. My suggestion, run a d40 for now as they are easier to find and not too expensive. Then rebuild your sd40 or send it out and then wait for the glass to be produced.
 
I think I have a D40 laying around somewhere and I know I have rebuild kits for these if anyone is looking. I traded the on SD40 I had.
Thx, but I have a SD40 that I am going to have Mark the master @65swb45 rebuilt for me if I can source the glass and bracket that holds it to the carb.
