I have searched the PET diagrams and can't find this specific part for a '90 964. This plastic piece is on the right side of the throttle shaft, opposite the main throttle lever. It rotates w/the throttle shaft and activates a switch at WOT I think. I'm hoping I can source just this small plastic piece and whatever snap ring or retainer it needs (which was missing too). Hopefully the photo is clear enough.
I was hoping it was an oft-broken part that I could just order, replace and be good to go. I will start calling dismantlers to see if I can find a replacement.

Thanks,

Yeah, that would have been easy.
I looked and I couldn't come up with a part number or even a picture of in the PET. You'd think it would be right there with the microswitch, so the only conclusion I could come up with was it's likely part of the t-body assembly.
Thanks for the link above - good idea. I was able to find the part ($5) from a dismantler. I will save the old cracked one just in case I need to use the safety wire method mentioned in the thread above.
Tom,
The part is not available separately, but if you send me your address and I will post you one. We remove this part from 964 throttle bodies to fit a TPS for Motec conversions so I'm sure I will have one somewhere.

Colin -
Thanks so much for your generous offer. I found one at a dismantler yesterday (cost me $5) and committed to them already.
