and i  have another question seems like i can get the body chromed for like
$20  form the same source
that goging to sell me this one
its supposed to  reduce the wear so when the times comes
to part this out i'd get 250 for  the body like one TK on the samba :)
but I have no experince with chroming  does it work well on a throttle body
to reduce wear  ?

There are only TWO places  on the throttle body that wear is a problem.  One
is the shaft and chroming  there is not going to help only boring and bushing
on the shaft and body  will work.  And, the second is where the butterfly rubs
on the bottom  of the throat of the body.  Shim it up like I told you on the
phone and it  will not rub and there will be no more wear.  So you can have it
chromed if  you like but that won't help with the wear problems.
