you can just break off the rivets and make your own adjustable tps. Finding the correct threaded screw or bolt.

take a grinder and grind a slot across the rivets deep enough to fit a flat head screwdriver into, then take a hammer and tap the flathead further into the rivets and unscrew them. Find 2 bolts or screws with the same threads and reattach your new tps. Keep in mind that it will need adjusted with a multimeter. I'm unsure of the voltage though.

this is exactly what you do and you set the voltage at .50 v closed and 4.50v open.

you can see that the mounting points of the TPS itself aren't circles, they are more like a () so you can rotate the sensor until you get the correct voltage reading and snug the screws/bolts down. I wish I had a pic

thanks for the info on the adjustment bro, I was drawing a blank. lol
