Well I got something figured out. I am working on travis' bike. I tore the carb choke plates out and thought HRMMMM.. and then it hit me.. just somethign flat.... the original flaps had two tabs that bent around the pin on the choke.
So I grabbed a box cutter. and removed the outer case.

Cut it out and formed this

I just pulled the pin out removed the old pieces.. put the new flap in.. put the pin in and formed the extra tab over the top. I am thinking of seeing if I can solder the tab to the flap to make it totally secure. but it is secure as it is.
The whole set of pics are at

If someone has questions shoot me an email.
This flap works and is spring tensioned. I put pictures showing the dimensions. Maybe I am missing out on the $$$$$ to be made by the billions of TK carb owners that need flaps.. LOL yeah right.
