Airing PM's in public is not a good idea... they are PRIVATE messages and should probably stay that way!

From the pictures its hardly conclusive if it is a 52 or 48 throttle body, I can't see any Part numbers in either picture... plus whats to say you havn't swapped them over already and are just trying to get something for free like the BMC? - By no means am I saying you did, just whats to say you didn't? :)

Sorry if this causes offence or anything, it wasn't meant that way... Just everyone always forget that sellers get conned sometimes too!

Just sent him his 3 quid postage. one phrase springs to mind "FIRST CLASS *****"

Seriously if a tb has a 52mm butterfly it is 52mm who cares what the fuking part number says!

and as for thinking i intended to do this on purpose the answer is no. The 52mm stamp is hidden under the bracket which supports the wiring loom for the inlet manifold. In my garage i have endless amounts of **** and for the life of me cant remember what i have and havent got all i knew is i brought a 52mm tb for my zr and thats what i sent him.

The 2 part numbers quoted by the op are both metal.

The MHB000261 is shown as fitting a ZR160 from vin number 600076 onwards,
and the other MHB000080 as being for a K series, high performance.

Perhaps someone could post a pic of a MHB000080 with a ruler across it, just to clear up the confusion.

As for quoting posts on .org as sources of good info....lol
