Your not going to believe this one but Harbor Freight sells those plastic boxes with cotter pins, small nuts and bolt, and they sell a kit that has brass ones of all different sizes. My local ace hardware also sells them by the piece. I'll see if I can find them on their site.

I have both tops for the later MW Indy intake, the 4150 top only comes in sideways mount carbs from Indy    
Hey cab can you trace that top plate on a piece of cardboard and send it down this way? I'd like to see it I can weld and re-drill/tap my intake for the newer style top.
I am worried that the spacers will hurt the manners of my 511 on the street.

Current 4150 style. I think the 22 bolt was a good 7 or 8 yuears ago.
Thank you for the info, good to know. I wonder if the new top can be used on my old intake if the holes were welded up?

...Indy low deck tunnel ram for my 511" 400 based stroker... I am going to run two annular 1050 CFM QuickFuel 4150 carbs 
 If it were me...Those QF 1050 cfm 4150's will flow more than the older style 1050 Holleys. I would just put a pair of annular 750's IF YOU MUST run 4150's. Or just a set of the older 4500's. There is a guy on here occasionally (MONTESSA) that runs 440-1's on a 572" he was making pretty near 950 HP with 2 750 4150's.

I am going to follow your advice there and test with some 650's and 750's on the dyno. If I didn't already have one 1050 that is running on the car and one that fell in my lap I'd skip the idea altogether. I'd hate to have parts laying around and not try them. My QF 1050-AN runs so nice on the street I'd hate to let it go.
If I could find a set of affordable aluminum 4500 series carbs I'd give it a shot but so far nothing has surfaced. Long ago I made a vow to never own a pot metal carb again for a wide array of reasons.

I had no idea this was what you've been up to! Very cool indeed.
Have you the tuning specs of your 'street' 1050?
I'd be keen to see how it's tuned.
I'd like to say 'keep out of trouble', but it would seem you're doing the opposite!
Cheers!
Long time no see partner. My 1050 is a little off the norm due to being up here at 4200-ish feet above sea level. I'll shoot you a PM tomorrow.

I don't know if this will be of any help on making a top plate,but on the BBC Dart Tunnel-Ram the top plate is flat with 2 carb openings and drilled & tap for the carb studs or bolts & most run them that way mounted flat to the top with no spacer. This should be fairly simple to make.

I took your advice and have two 4500 manifold to 4150 carb HVH adapters coming. What are you guys using to seal the top to the base on this intake? Hylomar? Should I get a sheet from Superformance and make a gasket?  Thanks for answering all of my dumb questions. Tunnel rams are new to me as you can see. It was 106 where we were working today and having cool hotrod parts on the bench sure makes the effort worth it! me -->   We are going to back this engine up with a Lenco ST1200 so it should be a fun car to drive. Hard work and even harder play!
