Hi, the sensor is from a Vauxhall Vectra I think, £4:99 - new item from EBAY. I tested it functionally as a loose item before going to the trouble of mounting it.
I have always mounted the throttle cables with the carbs lifted up from the ports, and the TPS bracket can be fitted with the carbs in their fully seated position - yes I checked, because I am that sad and thorough!
I would have thought that virtually any type of TPS would be OK, but if in doubt, just wire it up and test it as a loose part while monitoring the Ignitech desktop display.
Regards,
Dave.

Ive got a map for the RVF CDI if you wanted to use that as a base, its had hours and hours of dyno time to develop it.

Is possible if you reach under the frame, bit fiddly but my hands aren't the biggest.

That would be handy, email me & I'll compare it with my initial thoughts if you like.
