No, you don’t need it. The bracket you have will work fine. You need to go to a hardware store and buy a piece of all thread and a coupling nut the same thread size as the end of the linkage that the clevis screws on to. I can’t remember how long the extension needs to be. But, if memory serves me correctly it’s between 2.5 to 3 inches. You couple that extension piece on to the end of the kickdown linkage with a coupling nut. You can’t see the extension in my picture because it’s inside the coupling nut and clevis, because it’s so short. The linkage only needs to extend a couple inches. I can’t remember thread size, but it’s fine thread. All you have to do is take a nut that spins onto the end of the rod to a hardware store and say. “ Hey give me a short piece of all thread the same thread as this nut” You take that piece home and cut it the correct length that allows the yoke to extend to the stem on the carb. All you have to do is mimic my picture. It doesn’t get any simpler. Home Depot and Lowe’s won’t have it because of a fine thread. You have to go to a good hardware store. That specializes in odd stuff. Or give me your address. I have a piece left over. I can mail it to you. That’s all you need to do, to make everything work properly.
