325i throttle body questions

[Bretts85E30]

is there a place to get the fittings that tend to be loose that are for the icv and brake booster vacuum lines?

i bought a throttle body from the jy for my i head swap conversion and i need the those fittings for it. that way i can finally do the swap.

You'll have to get the fittings from a throttle body, or get a throttle body that has them. They aren't available as separate parts.

Just silicone or JB Weld them in place. No reason for them to be removable anyway.

[jlevie]

JB weld is far better than silicone, which won't last long. Clean the nipples and bores well with acetone or lacquer thinner smear with JBWeld and allow it to cure for at least 12 hours without starting the engine. Epoxy the elbows into place with the throttle body on the intake and all hoses in place to get the angles right.

K so i guess I gotta go back to the jy to find the fittings since I still need a few things from there anyway i may get lucky and find em
