Well my first real
bodge mod so when I get time to fit, hopefully works.
Used some epoxy resin from poundland to fill the holes in two stages after slightly filing the inside of holes for it to grip to.
Little filing to smooth out and then to the little screws to decrease their profile and hopefully get a result. Even if it just works as a normal one without any gains will be a result.
Here's what I removed to improve airflow through the throttle body.
Phase 2 - I swapped the epoxy resin, which filled the screw holes, for some 'Quick steel' with more robust properies.
Quick steel fix I hope for butterfly...
Cut off quick steel.. there seemed to be two parts to it. Equal ball of black and grey stuff and using cold water, just a dribble , to mix and soften. Put some on hands to so that it doesn't stick to you...
Rolled into ball and then halved, pushing each bit through hole and spread slightly either side...
A quick file to be less protruding although will keep a slight lip each side - like so...
In situ
Thanks to PQD44 'Paul' for the inspiring
Mark one version of the 48mm throttle body mod.
