MG ZR ZS ZT Technical - zs180 replacement vis butterflies

I heard from Roger Parker that someone in Solihull is fabricating replacement butterfly assemblies for the inlet manifold. Anybody know anything about this??

Doesn't Roger know more?

Not much Paul. The guy who makes the assemblies is only contactable through the xpower forum. I have sent him an email requesting a set. He is charging about £75 but I havent heard back. The MGOC workshop have already done the modification to an inlet manifold and still have it available.

I have read that the problem is parting the two halves of the assembly they are in, as this seems to be welded plastic with a high risk of fatal damage. Heard anything about this?

The MG Owners club workshop have done one but you have to be very careful apparently!
Sorry I took so long to respond

Sounds like this then http://forums.mg-rover.org/showthread.php?t=279295&highlight=vis

Heard from someone who rather than dismantle is replacing his VIS unit and got it complete with motors and seals for £495 which is less than I had expected.

Vulcan Racing (Pete Burchill or Eddie) can get new VIS motors at a very keen price.
