I don't know who does GoWesty's work, but Phil Eslin in Albuquerque
has been rebuilding throttle bodies for several years and does
a beautiful job.  Everything he does in beautiful--a perfectionist.

Search for him on the samba under the "name" whip618--search for
that.

Also, TenCentLife has newly redesigned replacements.  $$$$$
But he does beautiful work, too.  (For 2.1s)
