Hey all, Im comptenplating having a batch of 100 throttle body gaskets made up. Just trying to gauge how much interest there is here. They will be cheap, mainly doing it to try to provide a service for the club here. I need a good old one if some one can send me to provide a templet. Soon as I get the templet out, turn around time is approxametly 2 weeks.
Thanks for your interest.

I would buy a handful Tod. I may be able to scrounge up a used one, but it will take me awile, so consider me only as a back-up.

Can't someone skilled (MUELLER!) just measure the plenum or TB and get close enough? It's just a cone shape.

If you get some paper gasket material, hold it to the bottom of the throttle body, and mash your thumb good and hard at all the edges, it will make enough of a mark in the paper for you to see and cut out with scissors. That's how I made a gasket for mine. Works fine. Any reason someone thinks that's a bad idea?

Ok, soon as I get one to send out to the manufacture I'll have them made up and get back to you on pricing etc. Just want to make sure nothing changes price wise until they get to look at the gasket.
Thanks,
Tod
