DBW TB as a E-cutout?
As I was looking at a picture of a electric cutout, I realized that it looks an awful lot like the spare DBW TB I have sitting on my bench. A 78 mm TB is slightly bigger than 3", so size wise it would be perfect. I'm sure it's not a standard three bolt exhaust flange pattern, but It shouldn't be too hard to make an adapter.
Do you think it would survive the exhaust temps? I would be installing it just in front of the muffler.
Does any one know how much voltage a DBW TB wants to see when it is wide open?

Maybe you could make a heat shield or thermo covering for the throttle actuator/motor. The other plastic items will be removed and plugged (tps and whatever else is there) and wiring should be a piece of cake. Just get a schematic and find which pins are used to move the throttle blade, and wire a switch into them. I think it's a cool idea.
