C9701 Gasket starter cover plate. .031" fiber

This Cometic starter cover plate gasket is a precision-cut fiber seal for 1974–1978 XLH models with Hitachi starters and 1979–1980 XL Sportsters with Prestolite starters. At .031" thick, it replaces OEM 31461-70 and is sold as a pack of 10. Like all Cometic fiber gaskets, it is made from a high-density, creep-resistant material that handles high temperatures without becoming brittle. It is designed to be installed dry, requiring no extra sealants, and it won't require re-torquing once buttoned up. For Sportster owners and mechanics, this is a reliable, asbestos-free solution for keeping the starter housing sealed and protected from the elements.
