Default 4x4 sap cos throttle body

Hey guys, need to set up my idle on the Cossie, bloody idle screw I seized and a weekend of soaking in wd40 has done sod all to shift it :-( don't suppose anyone has a throttle body for sale with a moveable idle screw? It's a 1990 saph Cossie. Thanks

There is a locking nut securing the idle screw ?

edit. After looking at graham goode webpage who supplies these still the 4x4 doesn't come with a locknut but 2wd does so unsure if yours has one.

As you say, 4x4 does not have the locknut.

OP, be patient, it may be you need to remove it in order to remove it, a T/B will be both expensive and hard to source.
