Is there something better out there than the generic Summit or Jegs kits that go for $20?

I have one of the Summit throttle linkage kits for inline carbs but it seems a little sketchy the way it connects to the carbs with just the spacer/washer cotter pin arrangement.

I've been doing some searches for something better but all I come up with is linkage for sideways mounted carbs.

Anyone have a link for something better for inline mounted carbs on a tunnel ram? Thanks!

I used my regular throttle bracket(where the cable
mounts) on the rear carb and made a 3/16 shaft and 2
small 3/16 heim joints to attach the 2 throttle arms..
I made up 2 nylon bushings to go in the large hole
and a large washer to bolt the heim into that hole

I mounted the lokar cable up top with a bar connecting the two carbs - Works with a kickdown for a street car

Thanks for the ideas and replies so far.

I'm thinking about going to the hardware store and getting a rod that is threaded on both ends and two female-thread heim joints for each end to go into the throttle arm as seen on this page:

https://fordmuscle.com/archives/2004/08/ThrottleLinkage/index.php

It's just the part that attaches to the throttle arms that I don't like on the Summit kit. So I think if I can take the idea from above and use it with the rest of the Summit kit (the part of the "T" that goes down) that might work.

The attachment point to the carb in your link is how
I did mine

Yeah, that's the part of the Summit kit I don't like - how it attaches to the carb's throttle arms - seems flimsy. See I'm going to try to do it how you did it and how they show it in the link.

I think its Holley that sells the bushing/insert
part that goes into the large hole.. I just made
mine... then the rod between the 2 carbs is easy
