Message	I am on my second set. First set was terrible. As no other options were available, I went with a second set, but this set being the CNC'd later version. Even on the second set, I had to grind down the lock nut that is on the shaft. Otherwise it would bind when bolting all pieces together on the manifold. I also had to grind away the tab on the backside of the TPSensor to prevent binding. I have to give Z1 credit for having the only game in town, but there is much opportunity for quality improvement imo.
