Thanks for the reply. Can you post a picture of the air cleaner cover mounting bracket (29049-56) please and if you can give me the dimensions it would be super as I am probably going to have to fabricate it. I found a supplier in the EU that has one or more in stock, but they say they will not send it outside the EU.
The backing plate that was on the bike is the wrong one, so, the mounting bracket that I have is wrong as well and will not work with the correct backing plate. I do not know what bike the incorrect mounting bracket is from. The air cleaner cover is also the wrong one (obviously aftermarket), but, I found a correct one in a box of parts that I had laying around.
The slotted screw (2402C) still confuses me. When I look at my Palmer's it says that for 1956 that screw should be a phillips, but there is no part number provided. Granted, Palmer's barely references the model K, but you would think that Harley would have the same screw for all of the 1956 models. The PB obviously shows it as a slotted screw. However, when I google for Harley 2402C, the pictures that I see are for a phillips screw. I am going to go with how the PB shows it, but it kind of shows that you cannot rely on what part number a seller of parts says it is. Either the seller is wrong, the PB is wrong, Palmer's is wrong, Harley has the same part number for both types of screws or who knows who is wrong. While I will probably never show my bike, I might as well put it back together correctly.
