Hey guys, I come to the forum after scratching my head for a good long while yesterday. Now this may just be a symptom of my ineptitude/ inexperience wrenching and I will admit it freely.
But I cannot figure out how I am supposed to attach my throttle cable to the throttle plate on my new Weber carb. I've gone over the instructions endlessly as well as doing research on many of the older forums and other non-Montero Mitsu forums and can't seem to get it straight in my head. To me I appear to be missing the little throttle cable retention plate on the new Weber, that is present on the old worn out Mikuni. Now I thought of adapting the Mikuni retention plate but the Weber is oriented differently and I do not believe it will work. Do any of you have any guidance?
Throttle cable and new Weber plate

While I have your ears I also cannot find a way to adequately secure the throttle cable itself to the valve cover, I used the included hardware in the manner instructed and now there is a lot of play in the cable.

I feel like I am missing parts of the conversion kit or that I am missing something terribly obvious, either way I will be tremendously grateful for any ideas.
Anyways, here is a pic of the bucket I am now happily calling my own
