The bracket is a very simple design, once the dimensions are known, it would be very easy to make one out of a sheet of 10 SWG (3mm thick) stainless steel.

It's good that you took the initiative to help him out on that one, John.
Are you sending the bracket as a letter post without the extra long screws? The screws will be easy to sourse in the UK as they are M4 thread on the top of the stock Keihin CV carb. If memory serves me right, the stock length is 14mm, with the bracket a couple of 16mm or 18mm long screws will be required.

So ya can't buy one. Nothing is preventing you from making one. Don't have the dimensions, measure it. Make a thin cardboard template of the bracket, using the top of the CV-40. Get a small piece of steel and cut it to fit. Necessity IS the Mother of Invention.

Not everyone has the tools or workspace to do this. Simple as it sounds, it's not like cutting out paper doilies with safety scissors.
If all goes as planned, probably $15 total and he's good to go. And, we took care of a new member from across the pond.
