Downdraft Choke Cable?

I’m looking for suggestions about the best way to deal with the choke when I switch from the Zenith to a Stromberg 48. I assume that a cable will be required, the same as with a Weber installation but I don’t know how to go about attaching it to the carb itself.
 
I’m not really as stupid as I sound in my previous post, I know that there was a bracket used on the carb to attach the cable but I need to find where to purchase them. I need 2 to fit a 48 and 2 to fit a 97 and 2 to fit an 81. I have already sent a pm to Uncle Max so may get my questions answered there. I’m also trying to connect with Nick the Bandit and may be able to get what I need there as well.
 
Try Stromberg. That is where I find most of my parts. https://stromberg-97.com/product-index/parts/?cat=linkage-parts

On the other end, I mounted it where the choke/GAV is normally located. No holes were drilled.

Did you use the special cable designed to fit from Snyder’s or did you use another type. I am trying to get my cheap $10 Autozone cable to work using the original GAV rod opening. Not having any luck.

I bought the choke cable from Snyder's, it is a real nice piece. I have yet to use it tho, I decided to stick with my Marvel Schebler.
 
As requested, here is a photo of my choke cable. It looks like I used a couple washers. One thing that is important is to have the cable adjusted so that the knob does not bottom out. This assures that the choke goes completely open when pushing in the knob. The shinny thing behind the choke cable is a magnet clip that I use for a flash light.

choke cable that I have used twice now, is a NAPA universal and saves shipping
Part #: BK 7311107
I always lube the cable, in the housing, with a light application of Shell Aerolube grease

good luck
