MFI Throttle stops

eapcpa · 09-25-2007, 08:32 AM

Help!! I sent some parts out to a local plating shop and they lost my throttle stops with the nuts. I think the size of the bolts are 5mm x.75 x18mm. Where can I get these or does someone have an old set of throttles that are no longer serviceable. They did send me two fender bolts for a Chevelle or something. Needless to say I am not happy about this situation.

Here's a (fuzzy) picture of the head, it's a cheese-head screw with the tip filed down.

McMaster has M5 x .8 x 20, are you sure that's not the thread pitch?

As an alternative you can call Matt Blast or one of the guys who rebuilds them.

Helllo John, where do you got the gauge from. Looking for this part since years. I only have pictures, like to rebuild them.

Can you help with some dimension details.

I am pretty sure those are in vast supply here in metric land. If you still need them I will look tomorrow for you.

Cheers

Thanks for the response. John it is definitely not .8 pitch as those are very common. Henry I will e-mail you. Jeff Thanks for your offer, let me see if Henry can put his hands on some easily. I asked the plating shop if they sent mine to someone else and they said that was impossible. I responded with"you sent me two GM fender bolts that were somone elses!!" Long silence on the phone.

Perhaps the largest selection of Porsche / Bosch MFI parts on the planet? Who knows.
