Can someone post a pic of stock tps bolts on an 01 ex tb?

I will do the same, and would like if someone could confirm either it being stock or aftermarket.

Going to take the pic now...phone doesnt connect to web anymore, so I'll have to usb, gonna take a couple minutes...figured I'd get a headstart on a pic from you guys..brb.

aaaaaaand my g/f has my usb cable at work right now...

I'll post it later, but still, anyone got a pic? I'm looking for the bolts themselves. or rivets, or headless bolts, or whatever you want to call them..I have tried searching the web and here but havnt found a photo that clearly shows the bolts.

they are rivets, need to be drilled out to remove and cannot be used again. you have to tap and thread new holes and use screws/bolts. not the best pic but all it has are two metal knub looking rivets.

This is what mine looks like...does the tps and bolts look stock?
:edit: the tps bolts are all I really care about...I'm also just trying to figure out if the tb/tps were ever replaced before.

btw, the other reason i was wondering is because i didnt have to do anything to mine to get to adjust it. needle nose around the outside edges of the "rivets" and they turned after a little force. they tighten and un-tighten perfectly. if this is to be said about all of them, then I think I've found an easier way to adjust and instal the tps...

can someone confirm this?

pics look stock to me, but the rivets shouldnt be loosening like that. if you moved the sensor even 1mm, it will wack out the car. it takes very precise measurements to properly position it by reading voltage outputs. even honda will not mess with it and recommend to replace the whole throttle body. they do not sell the sensors separately. what is your issue tho that you need to adjust it? if it went bad, i would recommend a used $50 tb off ebay and swap the whole thing. tps is too much of a pain to play around with.
