I had to fabricate this throttle bracket and kick down lever.  The new intake is different so the old one wouldn't fit.  Makes things very interesting when you start fabricating from plate steel.  I used my bender, a mini grinder with cutting wheel and drill.  After drawing the rough shape on the metal with a Sharpie - I had to grind it all smooth with the bench grinder - fit, grint then fit again.  Once painted black it looks like an original OEM piece and works great.  Goes to show you - if you can't find a part - you can always make one.
