I don't believe so because the 12aT was fuel injected, not carbureted.

The J-spec stock 12AT was fuel injected. How can it be for a Nikki carburetor?

The fuel injection set up on a 12at looks like a carb with fuel injectors in it. That's how. But the cover has to holes on the edges to bolt it down. The nikki doesnt have the means to hold it on. Anything can be done if you really wanna use it. but its not plug and play. Easier just to get a coldy carb hat. probably cheaper too.

I agree with Seanrot, it's not a straight fit but with time and money most problems can be solved. The 12A T hat came with two different bolt patterns so watch which one you are getting. However, I suggest it's not worth the effort compared with other options.
