TR4/4A Weber DCOE linkage for TR4

I have cannon 809 manifolds and DCOE 42's. I have carb linkage but have run into a problem with linking the original throttle linkage to the weber linkage. On the old manifold there is a stem on the bottom to hold a pivot to pull down on an arm to rotate the choke. While I have all the linkage to to actuate both carbs I don't see a way to connect them. I would not like to buy a whole new manifod kit just for that. Any Ideas please.
 
On the current Cannon manifolds, the flange under where one of the carbs mounts is tapped, and a simple angle bracket is provided to support the pivot point.
 
Trouble is that I bought them without a bracket. Would you know if they are availible by them selves.
 
I don't know. It would be pretty simple to make one, but you might try calling Pierce Manifolds, who make the kits based on the Cannon design these days. They probably would fix you up.
