Default Tower 75 Remote NV??

I have two Tower 75s, great engines. The new one is going into a plane that doesn't lend itself to using the remote needle valve. It looks to me like I can unscrew the round plug on the carb and install the NV there, as long as the threads and length work ok to allow normal richening/leaning.

Anybody out there that has done this? I tried to ask Tower, and some girl asked a fellow in support, and I got the standard CYA "they don't recommend it". I told the gal I had been running these little things for 60 years and have learned not to stick my fingers in the prop, so I wasn't asking James "to recommend it", just "will it work"? She had a great sense of humor and did her best to get an answer. But couldn't.

I can always mount it on the bench and find out for myself if it will work, but it is easier to ask here on RCU with lots of experienced guys out there to help.
