305 Merc Carb mount

[shaw520]

Im finally getting to finshing up this rebuild, 91' 305 Merc w/2barrel carb, and I noticed that the rear (2) studs for mounting the carb are longer than the front two,.. but the base plate of the carb is the same thickeness on all (4) mounting holes,.. is there a bracket, ect that will take up the additional space on those rear studs?

thank you, Shaw
