Source for small throttle bodies?

Would a carburettor body from a Type 3 (pancake motor) do the trick?
I don't have one at hand but the size is about what you want and the
height is quite low. Should be able to remove most of the venturi
and "offending bits" with minor machining. Just use solid screws to
plug most of the jets; you might want to use one for idle-bypass.
Each motor has two carbs.

Might just be a dumb idea. It'll take you seconds to decide if you
can use it after you see it.
