Like tom says - just make somet!
Here is a drawing of what you need to be making for the TPS shaft - basically it replaces one of the nuts on the spindle shaft. All you need to do is file two flats on it so you can tighten it up. Then you need to position your 'pot' in the orientation you want, and mark where you want the flat to be on the 7.95 diameter for driving the TPS spindle.

When mounting, the TPS bracket must be perfectly aligned with the spindle, or you'll damage your TPS after only a short time.
Take your time, do it right.

oh cool, thanks for that :)

Couldn't you spin that up from some hexagonal stock- would save you the job of filing flats on.

Yep, turning it from 7/16" hex would be ideal. But not the most common stuff found in workshops - so i just took the easy option and made it in alloy and filed some flats!

just got a mail back from the workshop, they can make a batch if needed, worth getting a bunch done for others here?

I thought the MJ didn't use a TPS - or is that the MS?

Anyways - get a quote, and get a few made if you think it's worth it...

I don't know about the MJ, but one input to the MS is TPS. Its not used for ignition calculations though. I am plannung on fitting one so that we can datalog runs and campare throttle usage between drivers. Could have some interesting results..

I can imagine the banter in the paddock after a run "You lifted you big POOF keep it flat....."

so the Ms uses just RPM and MAP?

for ignition y, i'm using the MegaSquirt'n'EDIS which comes with/requires a TPS. for what reason i'm not sure

price came back as £6.50 each, no idea if thats good or not. from my point of view where i have no access to the machines needed to do it myself, its ok.

Any takers?

Dave,

For the ignition it is just MAP and RPM, for the injection it also uses the TPS. Obviously it takes into account engine temp and lambda too for the injection.

and air intake temp according to the MS site.

i'll get them to make a batch up, could flog them on the megasquirt forums lol

did you get any mike? I could do with one, if not i'll get something made up at work.

I could do with one too, as I have had no time to even look at it yet.

Yes please.

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

i hadnt had any made up as no-one replied but i'll give them a buzz and get a batch made.

I'm not at home today but can someone just double check the dimentions for the throttle spindle are correct?

Let me know asap and i'll get them done, i could do with one too lol

If dave took the time to do the drawing i'm sure they are
