I know some of you will find this request just heresy, but unfortunately my Cabriolet did not come with the correct side bowl carburetor. Unfortunately, I can't get comfortable spending $300.00 for the correct carburetor when I have other Zeniths that run just great. I have a side bowl filter but find that they cannot be bolted to a standard Zenith. There is interference between filter and the lower casting of the carburetor. Has anyone used a brass fitting of some sort that would allow me to connect the filter to the top of an earlier Zenith casting?

It would look correct to a casual observer but do the job until I find the correct side bowl style carburetor. Any ideas? Ed
