Thanks to a tip from Christopher Albers I picked up a 1/4" brass compression T
at the local Canadian Tire and it works perfectly.
Because the nut works it's way up the inlet pipe I wound up with about a 1/8"
gap between the carb body and the head of the nut and at first this gap spread
the carbs too far apart for mounting. Since the inlet pipes are a press fit I
carefully tapped on the tightened fitting until the carb bodies and the heads
of the fitting were flush. Perfect fit. End of problem. Before installing the
carbs I gave careful attention to alignment by adding extra gaskets to the
thick carb spacer gasket. Thanks to all for the suggestions.
