No one can go check the throttle body for me or what? I would look at my old one but I don't have it anymore. Was my question not clear?

unreal... out of the 45 ppl that have looked at my thread, no one can go look at there throttle body blade and tell me what size of hole is in the lower part of the blade. ppl its as simple as getting your drill bits our and inserting the one that fits in the hole and then posting it up on here, come on. thanks

1 question.

why did you have to "make a new blade"

2nd of all im assuming you can start out small probably the diameter of the opening of a ballpoint pen that the writing part comes out of. and that should be a good starting point if its too small hog it out a tad. cant hurt.

I made a new one because I wrecked the original so I made a new on on my laser. I already drilled a small hole in it and seems to be workin pretty good. I think I used one smaller than 5/32nds
