MG MGF Technical - wrong throttle body

This item looks like what Dieter has (had?) on his F.

aaah it's the GM TB

Looks as though this TB has already been modified for use on a K-series - the mounting holes on the output flange have been elongated, as is required for fitting onto a K-series plenum.

If the TB comes complete with all the mods required (including the throttle position sensor) then it is worth bidding for. Otherwise, it isn't a job for the feint hearted: even Scarlet Fever was thwarted by the scope of the job! Dieter and others have done this however, so help and advice is at hand as required :o)

72 quid currently ??!!.. ;).. silly. ;)

However, it has needle (barrel?) bearings on both sides and opens quick.
The only problem that Scarlet had was adding length with the huge ITG? filter box. I still have it _painted red_ if someone likes ?

Cheers

btw the seller is known as a reliable dutch MGF friend.

A 52mm aluminium throttle body is quite adequate at a new price a little more than £72.
