Donor for throttle body.
After drilling and tapping out to 8-32 threads I needed 4 8-32 socket head screws. I found an unusual donor for them.
 This guitar has seen many gigs but is retired and has become and organ donor for my throttle body. 8-32 screws galore.   Now just grind them flush and wallah! Now when I hit the gas I might hear some guitar solos under the hood.

Re: Donor for throttle body.
I don't know what dag means. You'll have to enlighten me. I'm not up to speed on all of these abbreviated words.

Re: Donor for throttle body.
DAG is the goop applied on the shafts to seal them against the throttle body.

Re: Donor for throttle body.
Ok. Then my next question is where do I get the stuff. If I can get it locally I would prefer that. There wasn't much of anything in the throttle body when I took it apart. It was pretty clean and idled at 850rpm's.

Re: Donor for throttle body.
Info on DAG from Marc Haibec's website:
Dag is a general purpose material that is graphite based and is applied like paint. It's used in various industrial applications that need properties like a thick material buildup, low friction and high temperature range. DAG is a trademark of the Verick, Acheson Colloids company. TomC Crabs

Re: Donor for throttle body.
Ok. So is it used on all throttle plates. And is it available at any automotive store.

Re: Donor for throttle body.
I need that DAG stuff too. I've search for it or similar equivalents but can find nothing. There has got to be some similar type of sticky, goopy stuff that you can buy that will do the same thing.
