I don't know, sorry. I bought a 120 link 520 MX non o-ring chain and cut it to length, plus I've got a TRX arm fitted to my bike which is a tad longer than the 3TJ one. I'm using a split (clip) link with no problem.

Surely the TPS would connect to the loom and the loom to the CDI. If the TPS is on the carbs, then it will take the position from how much the cable has pulled the TPS round.

This is a good point Alex, could anybody elaborate on this one??
I am going to be putting basically a thundercat inside my 3TJ. Not alot of 3TJ left to be honest.

It'sshouldn't be an issue if you're using all the Thundercat electrics like Alex says. I don't know why it was brought up :lol:

Use the carb holes and snorkel from a Foxeye airbox cut 'n' shut with the 3TJ's.
I brought it up although I was only pointing out what might happen and an easy solution if it did.

Ok I have the engine and all other parts home now but it needs the downpipes. The rest looks good frame is in very good condition but will be sold on.

Anybody know if any others are interchangeable??

You'll have trouble giving a Thundercat frame away to be honest. I've had two 4JH frames I had to give to the scrap man. A steely racer might give you something for it, but because they're pressed steel (and really f-ing heavy!) nobody wants them :(
