to anyone with a parts bike

I just shipped my parts bike to my parents house (sucks), and I need the little bracket that holds the throttle cable to the carbs. I kindof screwed mine up while trying something. I have managed to rig it with zip ties and that has been working fine for a week, no problems yet (knock on wood), but i don't expect it to hold long. I'm tempted to JB weld some stuff back together, but i don't want to rig it. The zip ties are just temporary. I'll pay, i just need one.

I just need the bracket, and by my taking the bracket from whomever has a parts bike, i'm not ruining your carbs, if you are thinking that you'll have to pull the carbs off of the parts bike so you can put them on your riding bike later on "down the road" you can always use the bracket from your riding bike. so no loss...

I think thats the bracket the throttle bcables mount to, you can adjust them with the nuts on there, to take out some slack on the carb end of the cable...

yes, thats the part..i know how to adjust the cables..lol, i work on bikes and cars for a living..i broke the thing while trying to modify it for yzf600 throttle cables. it's too hard to explain unless i show you a pic, and even if i showed a pic, i think it would still be hard to explain. my "adjustment" almost worked..but..well, yeah, it broke..so i have zip tied the cables to where they still work, but i have to manually roll the throttle back sometimes. i'm sure either heat is going to kill the zip tie or its going to rub against some metal and break, i don't know how much longer it will last like this.

this is a pic from when i jetted the carbs, oddly enough my finger is pointing to the bracket, its the dark-golden colored bracket between carbs 2 and 3 on the diaphragm side.
