Can anybody help me with a 2001 4.5 butterfly or point me in the right direction. Its off of the odd bank if that is of relevence and is the brass type (someone mentioned brass or alloy were used over time).
I have one that has some long cracks eminating from the retaining screws.
Has anybody else ever seen this?

Must be a fairly standard part - surely TVR Power can help you out? I'd definitely want to change it quickly before it breaks and gets ingested by the engine eek

Seems strange I know but apparently non standard item, not off of anything else and not out of anyones parts bin. May need to get one manufactured if non available.
As you say not keen for engine to eat existing one.

Can you not change to use a standard part if you can't get a direct replacement? Would seem sensible if the current type has cracked.
