WTB - L-jet throttle body

[rsporsche]

hey guys, i am looking for L-jet throttle body - primarily for metal refinishing. the metal levers on throttle body on my car are a bit oxidized and i am willing to buy the whole piece so i can get everything cleaned up and have the metal taken apart and zinc plated (so it looks better) along with the pushrods. really looking for #1, #2 + #8 ... do not care about the other side of the throttle body as i have a newer TPS.

this throttle body was used on early e23, e24, and e12 + late e3.

while you are looking to see if you have one of these, i am looking for some late L-jet plenum / manifold attachments. the early ones were the 'A' shaped ones (NOT what i am looking for). i am looking for the 3 piece ones (like this) - see #8 & #9 - (4 of #8 + 2 of #9)

Once I pick up the Reseda Green E12 I should have an extra T body you can tinker with

Scott - I have a throttle body with a very nice looking part number 2 you are welcome to. I bought this to acquire the switch on the other side, which I needed for my e28 5 speed swap. It does not have either number 1 or number 8.

As to number 1, I would think this could be made to work if you shorten the rod: https://www.piercemanifolds.com/JPS_ADJUSTABLE_ROD_75500_070_p/75500.070.htm

Chris, i actually think it might work, just have to put a ball joint on it for the little pushrod. if you need a spare throttle position sensor (the other side), i have one that came off my old engine. i now have the e36 TPS for megasquirt.
