Does anyone know if there is an alternative TPS that will fit onto the plenum / spindle?

I am running Megasquirt so programming a different sensor is simple enough, It just seems ridiculous that the standard part is roughly £150+ when a Mondeo sensor is £7

Also is there a god source for throttle return springs anywhere (including the on that goes around the spindle as that is currently missing)

Cheers guys,

Unfortunately the sensor on RS is now obsolete, but looking online this evening I have found this Honeywell one that looks like it could work (RTY120LVEAX)

http://uk.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Honeywell/RTY12...

Can be had for around £35 delivered, has the same bolt spacing, voltage and sweep angle. The splindle will need a bit of modification but I will order one and let you guys know how it goes smile
