The Ford Barn

Unshined2 · 07-02-2013, 12:38 PM

I have a couple of 94's with stuck and corroded throttle blades. I havent had them all the way apart yet. But I was thinking if they are corroded and pitted, is there a way to fix the pitting with and epoxy or other material. Of course being careful not to plug any holes and also careful honing after the epoxy cures...

Thanks

They're cheap and available, so there's no reason to try and reconstruct them with epoxy or JB Weld.

Are they sold as reproductions somewhere? I havent seen anything come up in an internet search or Fordbarn search, otherwise I wouldnt consider it.

Thanks again

I may not have clearly asked the question. I was wondering about fixing the pits in the bases. I had already planned to get new throttle blades.
