Default Vortec Kickdown Bracket TH350

Converted my engine to a 383 with Vortec heads. The manifold is a Edelbrock 2116 with a standard Quadrajet. I am using the standard Chevy throttle bracket for a quadrajet, but cannot find a suitable kickdown bracket for the TH350 Automatic. Is there a kickdown bracket that can be purchased without modification, or should I plan on a custom bracket?

the one timgman has shown is about as good as they get for a quadrajet. i have a demon carb but used this bracket for a month or so till my holley style bracket arrived. it has lots of adjustment and shouldnt really need any modifying.

Thanks Gingerbreadman. I tried the Mr Gasket Universal throttle and kickdown #6039, but it will not work for Quadrajet, but should work for any other carb. Will take your advise if my fab bracket does not work.
