There are two sizes the early one is 2.5" roughly diameter the smaller one just over an inch.

been looking on ebay and rimmmers cannot find anything to replace this one, ant help where to buy one?

I think the Jag one is the same.

See the following re converting from the older style to the new:

If it is the early round one they are as rare as a hot british summer and are no longer made so a scrap yard is your best bet, i got one from douglas valley about 18 months ago for £25 but it has worked ok since.I am sure someone on here has adapted an after market one to work.

Why do you need one, they're pretty much bombproof. The problem I've seen is that the leadout wires get brittle with age. Even so it's possible to cut away the plastic casing and solder new wires on.

At nil cost and aggro, you can successfully repair the earlier type throttle pot.

Correct me if im wrong but doesnt a new or second-hand throttle potentiometer need to be fitted exactly where the old one sat?..If so pay particular attention or even mark where the old one sit's...Ziga

Not quite: there is a specific voltage that the pot should be giving at idle, it needs to be adjusted to give this. Every pot will be slightly different, due to wear and manufacturing tolerances.

...well you did say to correct you
