52 mm Throttle Body
52 mm Throttle Body
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.

Re: 52 mm Throttle Body
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

Re: 52 mm Throttle Body
Do you want to do mine ? I have some verniers, anti roll bar droplinks and a clutch slave cylinder support to do on top of all that if your game.

If you knew what happened the last time I tried to fit verniers you wouldn't ask.BiggestNizzy wrote:Do you want to do mine ? I have some verniers, anti roll bar droplinks and a clutch slave cylinder support to do on top of all that if your game.
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
