Hi, has anyone got a 65mm throttle body from a normally aspirated Volvo 850?

Actually all I need is the throttle plate (butterfly) complete with the plastic wedge still on it, see images below:



A lot of people remove this lump of plastic to get better throttle response.



The wedge of plastic is actually there to improve drivability, I'm interested to try one out on my TVR which also has a 65mm throttle body.

I couldn't find an normally aspirated 65mm Volvo 850 throttle butterfly on EBay so I wondered if anyone here could help?

Thanks, Dave.

Is it off a 10 or 20v engine?

Not sure, the one I'm looking for is 65mm with the plastic wedge as shown.

I'll ask my mate "the volvo oracle" - he knows just about everything about volvos esp 850s and ask if he has a spare knocking about he can let go
