Fuel pump bracket

I'm getting gas flooding out of the carb bowl and it seems that I need a new low pressure fuel pump. I can get the fuel pump from Joe Curto, but I don't have the bracket nor does he. Neither Moss or VB have it.

Anyone have one or know where I can find one?
 
If gas is only coming out of one carb, check the float needle or float adjustment.
As for a bracket, you can make one from a 1/2" wide piece of thin steel bar from any hardware store, just bend it around a pipe or something as round as the fuel pump, drill a couple holes and bolt it up.
 
Thanks, I have checked the floats and needles. I rebuilt both carbs with Joe's kits with new seats and needles and I removed them again today to recheck. I just think the pressure is too high causing the gas to leak from the bowl lid
