Angry 305 TPI TB intake Coupler

Very confused....
I bought a 52mm aftermarket throttle body, but yet they don't offer an aftermarket 52mm coupler to connect to your intake! Well atleast not one that I can find! Makes me mad. I've heard of making one out of an orange cone; but would rather not. Check this one out: Corvette Induction Power Coupler, 1985-1989 - Corvette Parts and Accessories
Do you guys think this one will fit on a 52mm throttle body?
Thanks

Haha. If the stock one was still together, that would be great. I tried to stretch it over originally, and it ripped; (guess oil would have been helpful). So I guess my only choice now is to buy the new "power coupler" you think that one will fit as well? thanks

I checked advance auto, they didn't have anything even close... And I might as well check auto zone. Thanks

I haven't checked any salvage yards, But I think I will try the new "power coupler" it's to fit a chevy 305, so I don't see any problems. They just kill you with the price 40 bucks! Thanks for all the suggestions.

It's a 52mm throttle body, so on that side it would need to be 52mm. It should look the same as the stock intake inlet:

I'm not sure of the size of the smaller end (maybe someone knows it?) but it would be the same size as the original. If you have anything that would even come close to work let me know. Or even if you have an original, like the one in the picture, I would buy it...
Thanks. appreciate it.
