ground off the lip on the TB and put it in a 2.5" steel pipe with the widened end (for slipping a 2.5" piece into it)..if that makes sense.

Then I drilled 2 holes 180 degrees or so away from eachother through both the steel and aluminum and drilled screws into them.

 

Can we get better pic's to see what your talking about?

 

AWeSOME

 

For anyone that cares, I think a 91+ Jeep Cherokee 4.0 throttle body would work really well for this type of application. Here is a pic of what they look like:

 

Oh hell yes.

I have an LSx throttle body sitting in my toolbox.

 

Whoa....

HMT goodness, nice job, recycling a TB, helping to save the planet.

 

do you have to hold it open? nice work.

 

Nice job, even got the hmt birdshit welds.

 

lulz that would suck. Nope, the cable housing isnt coated in...anything so you get that nice metal-on-metal fritction. Stays open just fine.

 

looks like you are using a choke cable..... only it's an un-choke cable now... awesome....
