Carb adapter

I have one of those plastic adapters on my carb on top for my air breather, the thing sucks, when you start the engine the air breather whips back and forth becuase the thing is cheap plastic, all I have seen is the plactic ones, anyone know where I can find maybe a metel or aluminum one?

I gotta wonder if the plastic air breather whipping is due to a broken motor mount, or maybe a loose mounting.

Its the mountin of the air breather because it kinda hits the choke, which was electirc and now is manual, it just barelly hits it and when you tighten it down it starts to push the little plactic adapter down, and when you start it, the thing whips around, there is no motor problem, everythig else if fine its just the air breather.
