What am I missing on my carb/throttle rod?

[JeffnGeorgia]

I just got my engine back from the rebuilder and I'm trying to put pieces of the puzzle back together. I am missing the connecting piece for the throttle rod and throttle body. I have the throttle rod coming up from the toe board area up to the carb. The end of the rod is threaded. How does it connect to the throttle on the carb? What piece am I missing and is it available at any of the suppliers? Does anyone have a picture of what the connection should look like?

My car is a 1946 Super and the carb is a Stromburg. I have attached a picture of the throttle on the carb. Hope the pictures come through ok.

Thanks,
Jeff

You could use a turnbuckle like this one, available at older auto parts stores

Mcmaster-Carr has them also.

Gotta love a site like this. Straight answers and parts sources within two hours on a 61 year old application. You guys are great!

UPDATE! I found the part that I was looking for NOS at The Buick Farm. Thanks for your help guys. I will probably be asking more questions later as I continue to put everything back together. Thanks again, Jeff
