After 26 years hitachi carb finally died. I have a weber that was on a luv. I got a kit with adapter and gaskets with studs. no throttle cable adapter. Anyone have one or a good picture of how they made one. My parts package says weber on it but studs are a joke. Thry are undersize. I am going to play hell finding metric studs here but will keep looking.
So if anyone can help with cable adapter I would sure appreciate it.

I tried using different studs and the adapter plates bind. I ended up using the supplied studs.
