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.

Either way makes it a 52mm

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

So I guess from that we can come to the conclusion its a 46mm tb not 48 or 52

if you still think it is necessary to use a tape rule to measure it, I'm gonna buy one and post the pic here.

The seller seems happy to refund the money so get it posted back to him, he can then sell it on and this thread can be closed

Really cant see what all the fuss is about!

Why dont you just measure the bloody thing with the ruler that is in your pictures, measure engine side of the t/b
