52 mm Throttle Body

Post by gorrie » Wed Dec 09, 2009 10:27 pm

If any K-series owners with a plastic TB (or with a 48mm Ali TB) is looking to replace with a 52mm Ali TB... I thought I'd post up a link to this chap who's selling brand new genuine ones over on MG-Rover.org for £65.

That's 2nd hand prices is that...

I quite like the idea of the MG 160 plenum instead as it doesn't have 'VVC' cast into the top of it. Looks to be exactly the same thing otherwise.

I don't like the VVC either but I am going to machine it off and probably engrave

or something equally as cheesy

No probs. Thought it was worth a post up so glad it helped someone.

(BTW, I'm not affiliated with this chap or anything... just came across it when I was searching for posts on a slack throttle pedal on my MG).

If you knew what happened the last time I tried to fit verniers you wouldn't ask. :lol:

As for the rest - once I'm done with mine (think early spring) then happy to help over a few weekends until your is sorted too
