86 vl calais manual

mate im loving where u have gone with this build.... its actually inspired me to get rid of my factory turbo gear and go high-mount etc, which i start to remove next weekend... just a few quick questions tho, have u got a close up pic of the bracket u made for the vl tps to fit the xf throttle body ?? also did u shave anything off the side of the xf t/b shaft to made it half moon like on the vl t/b ??...

i ended up selling that throttlebody and am using a standard xf tps now as with the microtech you can use any tps. so i dont have any pics but all it is is a piece of flat strap that is srewed to the throttlebody then the tps screwed to that, and yeah you have to grind a flat section onto the throttle shaft so the vl tps will fit.
