redneck kick down linkage

I sold my gmc to buy this ramcharger. Proof of rebuilt motor and tranny to boot! For some reason though when the kick down linkage was reinstalled whomever did it didn't install the correct carburetor bracket. As you can see in the photos, the return spring pulls the linkage too far foward. I'm thinking about installing a couple short bolts to hold it in place until I can get the correct bracket. One in front of the carb linkage and one behind. Anyone know the pros and cons to this idea?
