TPS plug - missing the metal catch

[zoona]

Somehow, I am missing the metal bar that secures the plug onto the TPS.

Any idea where I can get one of these from?

I'm just being tight, becuase i can buy the whole plug for $15, but i'd rather just get the metal bit if i can...

just buy a replacement 3-pin junior power timer plug, they're very common.

I'm sure you can get this delivered in the US for less than 5 dollars.

it'll come with the metal clip.

I couldn't remember what they were called. Thanks.

You can also buy new AFM plugs from the same source

The search is over...

The bad news is that i couldn;t find one delivered for less thn about $12.

However, I am a hoarder.
When I broke the 1.8 that my shell came from, I snipped off and kept every plug from that loom. Except for the TPS sensor plug it seems.
But then i rememebred that I messed with my old loom so much that I bought a new one to put in this car. Adn I found the TPS plug on that loom.

Saved my self a few bucks... Now to get back to looking at new track wheels and tyres, new manifold and new turbo...
