Default Superior IO-360 Horizontal Throttle and Mixture brackets

I started looking at the Throttle and Mixture control brackets for the IO-360 With horizontal induction. First thing I noticed is the mixture bracket vans provided is right where Superior puts a plug, I have searched and found some solutions but all were from 4-5 years ago, nothing wrong with them I was just looking to see if there were any more solutions to the problem. This goes for the throttle brackets as well.

Thanks again

Remove the plug and machine it so it fits flush with the sump. Relieve the bracket so it fits against the flush plug and sump.
The throutle bracket needs to be made out of 4130, there are pictures some where on this site. I'll try and find them for you. Larry
