Default How are you guy's plugging the 2nd TB hole after you drilled it out?

I tried to do a search but it has not been working for me lately, I drilled a 2nd hole in my TB blade after a cam install to get my IAC's count's down back in a time when I didn’t know any better to help with my idle issues I was having. My setup has changed since then and now I want to plug up the 2nd hole that I drilled out. What are some of yall’s way’s of plugging up the hole? Does anyone sell throttle blades for a stock TB on a 01 SS. Thanx in advance.

I know I've seen somebody selling replacement
blades; think it was one of theTB porting guys.
Pretty cheap as I recall, saw it in one of these
forums.

the other option i've heard of people doing is JBWeld over the hole... let it dry, smooth the weld out w/a sander/grinder and then redrill the hole if necessary ... Though if it were my car I'd do as Jimmyblue mentioned...

I probably have a few hundred layin around the shop here. They are all from C5's so they don't have a hole at all. You would just need to drill the correct hole and you will be good to go.
