Default BBK throttle body blade replacement

Anybody know where I can buy just the blade for a 80mm T/B. I called BBK and they said I may have to send the hole T/B in for repair but they are calling me back to let me know... That's crap, all I need is a damn blade. Thanks for the info.

o no. That would suck wouldn't it. The T/B is very ported and I think the blade got ground down some how in a couple little spots, it had a few flat spots that was letting to much air in at idle. It came off a drag car so I would imagine this did not effect the idle but probrably helped it a little. I used some ver fine lines of silicone on the edge and it brought the idel down to 1100rpm from 2500rpm. But I would rather have a new one than leave it that.

2500rpm idle...

Are you sure the blade is the only problem?

yes cause since I fixed those flat spots some it idles at 1100rpm. But when im moving and push in the clutch like slowing down for a stop, it idles at 1500 untill about 2 seconds after i stop then it drops down to 1100rpm..

I called BBK and they do not sell just the blade. WTF.... Now i'm pissed.

Why have you ported your BBK?

I bought it from someone else that had it on a 9sec drag car. The manifold is ported along with the T/B.
