I need a stock 66-67 Hemi 4-speed throttle bracket. Anyone have a spare, or no longer need? I found automatic transmission replacements at Mancini, but I need one without the kick down.

The stock bracket does not have the appendage for the kick down, but I guess it could be cut off. I will address that option if I can't find an original. Thanks for the input.

Check these photos of Auto and a manual throttle cable bracket. Like Jerry said, the auto has extra material for the pivot pin mount. Not present on the 4 speed bracket. Not reproduced either. That’s strange.

As usual when I was trying to correct or find errors on my Hemi cars I didn't have a smartphone or camera. Thanks @R413 for the pictures.
The story, I picked up my car from a carburetor and tune up man that has done (trusted) work for me for 50 years. I took it to him as it wouldn't idle without holding the gas down a little. It used a little less than a 1/4 tank of fuel going. He rebuilt both carbs and it idled great. I had about a half of tank of fuel when I got it back. On the ride back home, I thought there must be a fuel leak because I was beginning to pray that I had enough fuel to get back. Inspection today revealed that he had put a shim in the linkage that let the front carburetor add fuel at idle. This also locked the linkage so that the car was running on both carburetors full time. I corrected the linkage and back to no idle. Futher searching revealed that the vacuum line from the distributor to the rear carb was split almost at the distributor. I replace the vacuum hose and bingo, it idles great. I had a friend in the car after I shut it down so that I could check for wide open throttle as everything had been torn down for the rebuild of the carburetors. That's when I noticed movement in the throttle bracket. Then I noticed that it was basically homemade. Although I have everything now working properly I now want the correct bracket. I now have carburetors rebuilt that may or may not have needed attention to the tune of $480 for 50 cents worth of vacuum hose.

That's for an automatic. He's looking for a 4 gear bracket.. "but will cut off the extra if necessary".
Had one like Bob's came off a 68 GTX 4 speed engine, no pin but had the extra metal for pin.
