With Which QuadraJet Float Can I Replace A Solex 4A1 Float?

I am currently restoring a customer's 4A1 and I need to replace the nitrophyl float.  Since there appear to be no NOS 4A1 floats and since that float is so similar to Q-Jet float, I thought someone on here might have a float number that works.

I have tried a Walker 100-6 nitrophyl float and a 100-35 brass float but both are too long (the pontoon hits the air cleaner stud boss) and I prefer not to alter a float unless I absolutely must.  Any suggestions?

The brass float can be cut and re-soldered to fit perhaps.
