Help 351m

I'm rebuilding the 2150 carb on my 351m. I made the mistake of trying to remove the throttle plates and stripped a screw. I tried drilling thinking I could use a screw extractor, but only succeeded in making an offcenter hole.

I'm thinking of brazing the hole over and redrilling or going to a junk yard to find a replacement carb, but would like some ideas quick, please. I could use a liquid steel epoxy, states its drillable, but need to know what options are best. Any recommendations??

thanks people

Go to a junk yard and get the shaft that the throttle plates attach too. Just a thought. Rob

Rob, your suggestion is simple but exactly what I need to do!

I guess I was too focused on locating new parts, learning where to buy them, time at a premium. I've got the time now, and this will solve a question I have about this one piece that is activated by the accelerator pump but doesn't show up on the schematic...

I guess I look pretty dim, but treks to the yard are automatic--- haven't been in my daily thoughts since I was a teen!

Thanks again and Merry Christmas!
