Re-engineered throttle sensors

[Stunned Monkey]

Hopefully this comes under the "limited run of rare parts" under clause 18 of the rules of posting so here goes...

Over the past several months I've been working with a good friend to solve the problem of throttle sensor unreliability, and non-availability of the blue ones (front sensor on Speed six, and both sensors on 4.5 AJPs). Development has included building a rig to characterise used sensors (almost all are pretty terrible), and understanding the ECU's response curve.

The sensors are based on a custom-programmed contactless hall sensor, all mounted within a fully sealed CNC-machined housing. Installation is straightforward, though you will need access to one of the ECU interrogation apps or the old windoze software.

Really impressed with what you have achieved since it's obvious that none of the TVR parts suppliers have been at all interested in sourcing supplies of the original throttle pots

Thankfully I have several new spares, otherwise I would have been one of your first customers, while trying not to dwell on the cost

I imagine you will get most interest from SpeedSix owners, as there are many more of them than AJP8 owners

I guess you have contacted Dom and other specialists to offer them supplies, it would be interesting to hear what reception you were given

Good luck, and do let us know if you intend to try to fix the other glaring NLA part, the T5WC 5th Gear Set

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I wouldn't set much store by originals unless they're actually badged Ford and are brand new. Those were the only ones I tested that produced a straight line. But then again, I would say that

I'm actually 'in' that world & know someone with use of MASTA, and I know a couple of UK based gear cutters. Has anyone got any drawings?

This is fantastic development work. Are they also the same sensors for the 4.2 ltr inlet system (2003 car, 4.2 top end, 4,5 bottom )?

If they are suitable I'd definitely be interested in a set when you come to sell them.

• EDIT**

Have found your eBay listing and all of the detail. Will hope to get a set of these at some point.

No worries you'd be most welcome.
