i always just use a piece of pipe and a bolt in the end obviously secured with jubilee clips at both ends

you could also strip the carb, remove the brass pipe and have the hole welded up.
or drill and tap the holes.

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

I always use a piece of hose and a bolt, so if I decide ot use it in the future its easy to undo.. I suppose you could put a blob of solder on the end, but it if you wish you to use it in the future its a bit more pissing about.

I thought that the hose and a bolt was the only method. Why re-invent the wheel.
