I'm horrified !!

Diamond Black Geezer is openly and blatantly selling unproven PATTERN THROTTLE BODY SCREWS in this thread ..

 http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=127515.0

Has any in depth analysis on the effects the large mass of the head of those screws will have on the opening speed of the throttles ?? or the forces required to overcome the inertia of such mahoosive screw heads ?? On the DBW cars will the throttle motor cope ?? on non-DBW is the throttle cable man enough ?? What will be the effect on the cruise control mechanisms ?? Will the screws themselves cope with the environment and forces they will be required to handle ?

Is it actually SAFE to fit such unproven, overweight, possibly substandard items ??

Has there been any in depth testing of the effect the protruding head will have on the airflow through the throttles ??

The restriction to flow, and subsequent turbulence will surely reduce the available power by some 0.000001 bhp ?? The time delay on opening the overweight throttles will reduce acceleration by 0.000001 ft/sec

The combination of these two effects will be to reduce the performance of this classic 2.5 V6 to something akin to a Daewoo .. should such sacrilege be permitted on this forum ?

These may seem a good idea due to their low price, but I suggest caution before making such a momentous leap into the darkness of PATTERN PARTS

Ban him

A verbal warning should suffice... Afterall, it's not a proper Omega

The heads of them bolts will cause disrupted airflow---might as well drill staight through shaft and use nuts and bolts 

Ban him

All joking aside, they will cause some turbulence and will be detrimental to performance.

Was it our American friend on here who did a How To on TB polishing and porting?

All joking aside, they will cause some turbulence and will be detrimental to performance.

With the emphasis on some. I doubt that it will be even noticable, although I would probably have used button-headed bolts to reduce the effect.

Nothing at all wrong with pattern parts...

I hope he is prepared to prove he is paying HMRC of any possible profit he may be making from these dubious parts  !

how did you decide on that 


please let us know..

Apparently pattern soup has a thicker consistency and air flow when blowing is greatly increased to cool. Too much cooling has the undesirable affect of blowing the soup off the spoon.

Maybe the extra turbulance will be beneficial to performance.    Much testing and a written report is required I think!
