    Inlet manifold - Throttle body spacer. Group buy?

    I have an engineer that is willing to make some spacers for the throttle body. I wondered if anyone else may be interested in one.
    You know how it's easier to get these things made in batches.

    I am using the spacer to move the throttle body away from the reverse inlet manifold, and hence downwards to give a little more bonnet clearance.

    I am using a 20mm spacer which looks like this:



    The price is £29 just for the spacer.

    Obviously you'll need longer bolts, an extra gasket, possibly a longer inner throttle cable, TPS cable, adapted inlet hose an so on, which is pretty easy for me to do on my car. But check what is involved in adapting yours first.

    So is anyone else interested in one?

        Cheers, guys.

        I am fairly keen to get these made up, so I can get on with my inlet pipework.
        I haven't heard back from Anders yet. But I am hoping to get back to the engineer in the week. Like a lot of people these days, engineers seem to be flat out, so I'd like to get back to him sooner rather than later.

          Would you be able to hook this up without a paper gasket? Just some silicone sealant?

            I guess you could, Vas. I have silicone sealant, but no extra gasket at the moment, as my ECP man has gone AWOL, so I might just do that.

                I will have one as well. But my TB is 70mm.

                Can mine be done to that?

                      A 70mm bore version is fine, Vas.
                      It sounds like the others may work out a bit cheaper too

                        I would be interested. Is shipping to the Netherlands a problem?

                            I will make an enquiry and get back to you on that.
