Another throw-away idea.
Use the butterfly part of a Q-jet carb. If you are un familiar with Q-jets,
the carb splits into 3 major sub assembley's.
The part with the butterflys is an aluminium plate about 6" X 6" and 1/2"
thick. Has a primary side of approx 40-50mm and a secondary side measured
in yards. Should be real easy to cut in half to give dual 40-50mm
butterflies with a centre of about 4", it has the added bonus of an air
idle adjustment already fitted.
The very best part is there are literally millions about and are either
free or real cheap.
