Sorry, I don't know a source for those, but one for a beetle might be 
close enough to make it fit. Otherwise, this is a pretty non-critical 
area, so you should be able to just hammer a piece of sheet metal 
into the necessary shape.

It's actually quite a nice system. If you've got it working you're 
really much better off just studying a good manual a bit and getting 
familiar with it. It's not overwhelmingly complicated and if treated 
with respect it is reliable, economical, and low polution. 

It doesn't need a throttle position sensor because it senses air/fuel 
demand by measuring the intake manifold vacuum. The vacuum 
sensor (which they call a pressure sensor) hangs upside down 
from under the floor to the left front of the engine.

The Bentley manual, which you should get a copy of anyway, is a 
pretty good source of FI information, but your best source is this 
list.
