This is a front gasket part that goes to Kirbys G5 to Avalir 2. I was wondering if this part can also fit to the G3 & G4? Just curious, thx.
Can this part fit on Kirby G3 & G4?

Gabriel,
No, what you describe (and the picture suggests it) will only fit any Kirby from the G5 to the present Avalir II; the Generation 3 and G4 both still used the older-style fan case O-ring (part no. 122068) going back to the model 516.

KirbyClassicIII, I found a post about G series hoses and gaskets.

Les,
Yes, it does. The G3/G4 hose can be used on the G5 and later machines, but the gasket on the hose connector has to be removed first.
But, as the same article you mention says... to use the G5/Avalir II hose on the G3 and G4, let alone a G5/Avalir II nozzle (so the oblique brush roll can be used) or Carpet Shampoo System, the fan case will need to be changed to the type used on the G5/Avalir II.
Personally, I would never do that for the sake of resale value.

Hey
I noticed. I took it he misread article and thought it would fit. I wouldn't either the case would cost more than you could sale vacuum for. G4 I love it's look. If you put new plate and unigasket it would look rather frankenkirby.
