Default Going nuts with this stupid part

Ok for starters, who the hell sells or makes a tps adapter for obx itbs?

Called obx and they say I need an account

They refer me to some bullshit company that shall remain nameless and they can't even understand english.

Someone please help.

knowing nothing about these particular ITB's, should be pretty straight forward to know where the TPS needs to go, then either machine or free cut a plate to attach and/or weld to it, and to be drilled and tapped to accept the sensor.

i wouldn't waste much time hunting down something that is probably a unicorn here in the states if you can just simply make one, or have one made

Yeah ill most likely just end up doing that. I'm not too fond of spending 70 to 125 bucks for a piece of metal that can be constructed by me for a fraction of that.

The adapter is made by circuit hero. Unfortunately it is discontinued. You are going to have to make one. I spent ten minutes searching eBay nd google and couldn't find one for you. It's a very simple spacer to make. You should be able to make one with a drill press. Ill draw you a print tonight.
