Unfortunately the quality if that "original" neoprene seal is very lousy. Mine starts crumbling already after one year.
I made before one out of a piece of neoprene yoga mat and put in addition a tie wrap around, that worked for longer.

Hello,


Do you know the maker of the throttle or where I can find some of parts for it?


When I bought my b36, the plunger and the rubber cover were missing and I have now a lousy replacement.


Thanks
