Just wondering if the ST2 throttle bodies will fit? The throttle body from one of the injection SS models could be better as they have the pressure regulator mounted on them.The air bleed screw arrangement is different and it uses a different TPS which may need changing the connector if you can't swap the TPS over. Neither does it use the 8-pin round connector but that could be easily added. It would certainly be worth a look.

Hi John,

are there realy metal bushings in the throttle body?
I thoughed it's all plastic.
when there are metal bushes they can ber rebushed.
just machine them out on a mill. insert some new bronze bushings and ream them in line with a adjustable reamer. or a fixed one. reamers are available in several sizes in steps of 0.01 mm. I use a set of these for reaming valve guides.

I have purchase hard to find Weber parts from a seller on ebay using the name "alfa1750" if you are an ebay member you could try to contact him, if not he mostly sells Weber carburetor rebuild kits. Do an ebay search for WEBER CARBS REBUILD KIT you should be able to find him. Use the "asked a question" box and give him a number he will email you with a price if he has the part.

Italspares Phone Number is +61 2 6946 2626. Speak to Jim or Ian. I rang them the other day, and Jim said he thought there might be another set there.

They have a few spares for the Paso/907. Pretty good prices too.

Cheers.

Nick.

Hi John.

No worries about the phone number. Glad I could help.

I spoke to Jim yesterday and he said Italspares will be going online with their parts in the next month or so. Keep an eye out if they do.

Cheers.

Nick.
