No idea, there is a way to convert a Vauxhall TB to fit it could be one of them. Does it work properly? Check that you get full throttle correctly.

There is also only one spring on it, all the rover ones have 2, one each side, dunno what difference that will make...One of the biggest challenges with the Vauxhalls is the TB opens the opposite way so the wiring has to be altered.

Otherwise good spot!

Yep full throttle ok, tps works ok, the butterfly opens the same way, had to blank an opening underneath , redill mount holes and make cable bracket and thats it , their is a opening for the rockerbox breather but I put a 8mm thread and then a bolt in this as I am going either open breather or catch tank
I suspect vauxhall or opel as well but off a late car because this was vacuum operated but also with a snail cam ,the only numbers on it are jzx859c SUA

only problem it whisles quite loudly It seems to be the air passing over the square hole
I have fitted a plate over the bottom or else the t/b wont work

will have to get the stikaflex out and fill the square
