You may have to ask your swmbo if this is a salad bowl or a mixing bowl. I'm just not for sure. I cut the bottom out to fit the throat of my carb. I made a hold down by just bending a loop in a small steel rod. The ends where the rod sits on the bowl were notched. All thread is in the carb and a tie down nut holds it on. That ring around the hole in my hood is just windlass. I left a 1/2 inch gap between the top of my bowl and the hood. I could seal it with foam which I may try later on. Without the salad bowl it ran a 12.65 and a 12.64. With the salad bowl it ran a 12.62 and a 12.61 with a 1/2 mph more on the top end.
