Default BBK throttle body butterflies...

I need to buy a replacement butterfly for my 80mm BBK throttle body, I bought it used and the hole was drilled out way to big for my car. With it on the car, it idles at 2000 RPM.
Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement butterfly for it?

Forget that, just block the hole off with a rivet. Or some metal weld. The tune it up properly.

yeah, I believe the hole is the same size as a normal throttle body when it isnt drilled out. Now the hole is the size of a normal pencil eraser.

I was assuming there was a hole in them, I bought mine partially used so maybe there wasnt when it was new.
