POLISH AND PORTING THROTTLE BODY
« on: 25 March 2013, 20:49 »
Anyone know of a good place I could send my throttle body to get polished and ported?  Don't mind paying a

bit extra for a propper job.

Thats what I did but because of a broken sensor! :grin:

I used some round metal files, others have used dremel type tools, both with a hand finish with emery paper.

I've tried both files and dremmel, and with a dremmel it's quicker, easier and leaves a better finish.

After dremmel I get the metal polish out and a rag and use good old bit of elbow Greece to get almost mirror finish
