Throttle linkage ideas?

I currently have this throttle linkage

but I am missing the parts which join the silver spring bit down to the lever on the carb (Lotus type).

This is the full unit showing what is missing:

It obviously comes with some sort of bush to take the Dia. of the carb lever down, and give it something to rotate about..

So, just wondering how other peoples linkages look for ideas.

I don't have access to lathes or such to make similar bushes out of. My initial idea was to use some sort of rose joint but that still leaves the 10mm to 4mm hole problem and there isn't a great deal of room!
