From my 1974 1.8
Just got my TB back from a total rebuild. Came out really nice. Done by a machinist on the Samba user name whip618 does really nice work. Machined with bearings and seals, new Pivot shaft, new Butterfly, over bored, rebuilt TPS, All fresh cad plating, machined mounting surfaces. Pressure tested. I just put it in today, but have not had time to try it out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Also a new seal by 914 Rubber. Will post follow up. Attached thumbnail(s)

Is it possible for someone to post Phil contact info?
The existing link will not allow one to pm him unless you're a member of Samba. Thanks |

Just got my tb back from Phil.
It drives so smoothly it is almost sinful. The problem I had (and apparently common) is that the throttle plate would stick in the closed position and would need a blip on the throttle to disengage the throttle plate and then you could feed in the power. Phil also added a mod -an adjustable stop on the tbspindle assy to stop the throttle plate from jamming on the wall of the tb Now, I have to change my driving style as you can accelerate silky smooth from rest. A very rewarding result. $295 shipped to Aus. Thanks Phil The other plus is that I can now have the secondary return spring which goes from the bell housing tinware to the tb spindle. The secondary spring is obligatory for track use but the car was impossible to drive with one before the rebuild. Phil can be contacted through Samba (easy to join) or his address is Philip Eslin 290 Sandia Rd NW Albuquerque NM 87107-5335 USA Attached thumbnail(s)
