DIY FMIC Project....
This a proper one that they use in emergencies when all their recovery trucks are out. It saves buying one, used it for all sorts, ride on mowers, miny tractors, skid steer loaders, cars, etc, etc.

That's interesting, you thought of putting it on the actual throttle linkage, i thought it might have been a bit open to the elements out there, stuck mine inside the cabin on the bracket that holds throttle pedal. wouldn't like the microswitch to stick in the on position

Im going to have LED's on the dash to tell me when the nitrous is activated / armed and when it is active....
So Ill see how it goes.. but I know what you mean... some tps's seem to have WOT switches but not this one.. Suppose I could measure TPS voltage / resistance.. if it is a problem..
TIG Welder turns up on thursday...
Just need to get a bottle of gas...

bloody hell, wondered what all the fuss about this 40 page thing was! flicked through most of it and can't be bothered with the rest, how much is done? and can you do mine now please?
have you done the p1 bumper?

On your legacy its a IHI VF12 or similar, which has the bolt on flange. It is not a mitsubishi TD05.
Cosie/Andy. I notice on the picture of your engine bay...What did you do with your power steering? Someone seems to have stolen it!!!!!!!!!

they arent stainless.. they are mild.. but looks nice anyway... Im going to get some bolts and just tack the heads so that they hold for installation but if they shear then can be removed fairly easily... thinking about using high tensile??? Ideas?

yeah, bolt specs:
number on head of bolt.
10.9 = 1000Mpa ultimate tensile strength, with yield at 90% of UTS.
So a 12.9 bolt has a 1200Mpa UTS, which equates to 174000psi.
see here for more info.
10.9 is roughly equivalent to imperial SAE grade 8, which has 6 marks on the head.
