Spent the better part of the day a few days ago making this. Started with two junk carbs with the correct sized flanges, cut the flanges off, two more carbs, cut the elbows off a couple Zenith 04's which is the best thing to do with them -- use them for parts.
Did a little work on the mill, fitted the five pieces together, got out that $100 roll of real genuine Silver solder and a little flux and a little heat, glued em all together, got on the soft drum sander and blended it all together, make an insert for one hole so a 1/4 - 28 bolt would thread in, threw it in a box and sent it off to Pennsylvania or someplace back there to adapt a Rayfield UF carb in place of the Breeze carb on a 1910 era Huppmobile.
Also flipped the throttle arm to the inside so it operates correctly for the Hupp setup. Zoom Zoom!!
