Since I’m going with a MoToc ECU I bought Tilton’s Throttle Linkage System which is very nice. It calls for a Penny & Giles TPS280DP sensor. Apparently it’s a very nice hall effect sensor, tested to 60 million operations, 12-bit resolution, zero signal degradation over the lifetime of the sensor, sealed to withstand high pressure wash-downs (IP69K), dual outputs, etc.
All wonderful, but after spending hours of googling around I found all types of press releases, specs, etc., but no place to buy it online. After sending a bunch of emails to the manufacturer and resellers I received one quote: $250.04 and “approximately 6-8 weeks” delivery -- two months, really?
When I asked about the lead time for a replacement in case of failure, they suggested that I buy two! Clearly they forgot to mention that parts of it were made of unobtainium. Anybody know how to get one in a reasonable timeframe?
