    Re: wanted: throttle body from 164

    That's the same one all right - only difference is that I don't have the switch. I can see the mounting points for it, but it's not installed - must only be needed with some ECU's.

    I did successfully rethread the shaft today, so looks like I'm back in business - thanks Chris and everyone else that helped. At least we've learned a little more about the different versions used.

    I now have a smaller offset cam installed for the the throttle cable - the problem was my pedal travel was too much - the throttle pedal was actually higher than the brake pedal causing me to hit it sometimes when braking! Travel is now reduced to about 70% of before so pedal is now safely below level of brake

    Just for info, a 164 24v throttle body doesn't bolt up to later 156/166 or gta plenum's, inner diameter and bolt centres are different. If you have a later plenum, you have to either fit the 164 version or make an adaptor.

    Here's the type of adaptor John is talking about (on the right).
