Hi Tony
First set have been made, works out £85 for the pair but I will buy these for you.
I have sent a message to the Rover SDI club to see if they want any as we can the price reduced to £75 for 5 sets and maybe more for 10.
Let me know what you think

Your a star Reg,
any chance of some pictures? as a picture can say a thousand words, and stand more chance off selling the shafts then,
We can look at eBay as many of the TP's sold on there in the end need shafts too.
Once i have a few pictures of the new shaft(s) i will contact a few groups that i know of, and will advertise them on my web site too for you.
thought about rimmer bros??????
Once again thanks mate

have now fitted and tested the above shafts and they are spot on,
i had a binding problem at first, which was due to my plates not adjusted in the plenum properly.
If any one needs replacement TP shafts then defo contact Reg about theses ones.

Hello,
it is always possible to have stainless copies of TP shafts ?
I sent MP to r2d2hp but had an error message.
Thanks

Unfortunately the guy that made these for me has retired so I dont think he will be able to make any more unfortunately.
Can ask him but I wanted something done recently and he could not help. He had also been unwell

stainless would probably bind up in the throttle body anyway unless you put a bearing in it.

Is it possible to obtain a copy of the engineering drawings used to re-manufacture these spindles and make them available to the V8 TP community through various archives?
If the wheel has already been invented, no sense in doing it all over again if the draughtsman is willing.

I was thinking the same thing Ramon

Sure if we can have the engineering drawings there are enough people interested by a kit to ask to another machine shop to made them.

If someone has a good sample to show, any good machinist will soon whip up a working drawing to make new ones from.
As for the stainless binding up, if you bushed the body with phosphor bronze you should get away with it, but bearings would be first prize if you can manage to seal them so no air is sucked through.
