My method of mating the 2 parts that don't match bolt wise.
This is probably machining 101 but I didn't see any other fix for this problem other than using a ready made adaptor
(which would probably raise the carb too high) or carving out the ends of the carb base to make the bolt studs pass through the carb base.
I didn't like that idea.
What is going to happen if I tried to drill this new hole to size 17/64" I need to tap it is the drill bit is going to fall right into the old 5/16" hole and jamb into it.
I solved that problem by first putting an old 5/16" bolt in the old hole......
