Maybe this will work?

I took some measurements of that return bracket Baseline adjustments on a Trollhole carb ('77)

I can take measurements of the other bracket if needed.

Happy Thanksgiving! Yes if you can get some of the larger bracket held by the two bottom screws, that would be great. I can estimate from the great photos but more info is always useful.

Oh, yes that will work. However for almost $40 I may choose to improve my metalwork skills.

Funny how I searched for an hour for a bracket like that yesterday and never found that eBay listing. Sometimes you are in the Zen of search, and sometimes not!

@Vae Victus
The link I posted earlier will take you to measurements of the bracket. Gobble Gobble!

Fabbed up the pair of brackets. Not beautiful but very functional.

Nice work Vae Victus
I meant to snap pics of the other missing carb bracket. I’m late but just in case here’s how it is notched.

Thanks @bigredrocker. I figured it was notched but I'm going to rely on friction to keep mine from moving unless too tight of a nut causes other problems.

If it does I guess I'll fill the hole with some weld and get the hand files out!

You could notch a washer and weld it to the bracket you made. Or weld the one you made.

Hmm simple and elegant idea!
