ordered a rebuild kit and want to crack on but need to know a few things...

i have a metro turbo carb but it has no throttle assembley on it, now i do have a N/A HIF 44 can i use the throttle assembly from that? i assume it will be ok just want to make sure???

secound i also got a metro plenum chamber but for some reson the brass restrictor ring is missing, does anyone have one or know where i can get one???

thirdley i also dont have the bolts for attaching the plenum chamber to the carb, same as above anyone know where i can get them from or have any they dont need.

Throttle assembly should be fine

I made a new restrictor ring for mine out of a short length of 2" exhaust tube.

The bolts are just UNC (1/4 or 5/16 but can't remember which sat 300 miles from one.

the design shows a distinct lack of imagination,
talk about starting off with a clean sheet of paper, then not bothering to fucking draw on it,lol
