Dellorto guru's. Need an oddball question answered

[HeliMike]

Hey all. Been a LONG time since I've posted anything here as I've sorta fallen out of the aircooled scene after many years. I do have an oddball question though and I'll warn you now this is a watercooled-type question.
I have a pair of 45 DRLA's I'm putting on my mk1 Jetta 8v counterflow head. It has been prepped up with a big cam, valvetrain, and lots of port work. I have a manifold that mounts the downdrafts inline above the header. My question is, does anybody know of a link (female/male) that can hook the two throttle shafts together just like the dual sidedraft guys use? I'm having a hell of a time finding someone that knows anything about downdrafts, and seeing as they're Dell's it's not making it any easier.
Any help or recommendation of who to talk to would be greatly appreciated.

I should mention there's roughly 3/4" seperating the throttle shafts.
