Keeping Engine Warm??

To me I would think the TPS would have a flat surface to bolt on to like the iac.
Maybe make a gasket for it.

It does mount to a flat surface. May be the photo's a bit misleading.
It's just that gap underneath that worries me.
That machined out, horse shoe shape mates up with the TPS.

fyi thats a sealed bearing... i still think youre barking up the wrong tree.

 

[Nut Kracker]

Yeah....The sealed bearing is recessed on the shaft.
I was talking about the horse shoe shape on the mating surface.

Anyway....I am just trying to eliminate all possibilities.

Yes it is sorry.

Tried a gasket as you suggested, to try and block off that gap under the TPS.
No go I'm afraid.
It spaces the TPS out too far and the shaft can't connect to the TPS properly.

Mind you' I did use cork (that I had lying around) which I thought would be too thick.
Might try paper gasket material, as it's much thinner.
Although I don't think it'll work.

worth a try mate

Here are some pictures.
I don't have a Factory T/B to compare it with unfortunately.
The first picture has the measurements of the connection to the TPS.





And this one for good measure.

Right, I'm with you now.

Yeah, that shaft doesn't look like it need the plastic sleeve as it seems a lot bigger than the standard TB shaft. I'll measure up a standard shaft later.

Try one of these , I found it in an old copy of Practical Motorist dated October 1960
