I know this isn't a very exciting topic but does anyone happen to know the size and length of the screws that fix the SPI Throttle potentiometer to the throttle body?

 

I knackered mine getting them out when I decided to clean up the throttle body, need some replacements.

 

Thx

Actually really good to know. With the manifold still attached, these screws are not the easiest to get to. I wanted to replace with allen screws next time I am in there. You saved me the downtime!

No worries. Good idea on using allen screws! It seems that Rovers screws were particularly partial to corroding in the aluminium body, stripped screw head happen often!

I replaced the screws with M4(7mm head) hex bolts, used the factory aluminum plate to lock the bolts so i don't need to loctite the bolts as workshop manual suggested to prevent any trouble for removing in the future.
