How do you replace the TPS? The OEM is riveted on the throttle body

Isn't the 5th gen riveted, but the 4th gen's fixed on with torx screw (6 pointed star)?

The 5th gen is and so is the ATR. I have one ATR inlet manifold with a busted TPS and another ATR mani with a cracked TPS.
Edit - I dunno about the 4th gen, I didint look at it. Although Lings says its its also not available separatley.

Drill the rivet out and tap the hole?

Cool, although I was hoping to hear from someone who has actually done it. I know there was a few of us who bought those TPS of Ebay. I dont fancy screwing up an ATR throttle body if I get it wrong 
Also my 2nd ATR inlet mani has a Skunk2 TB, so that shouldnt be riveted

They are special bolts
Apparently you can slot the heads and screw out as normal then just refit with new bolts

I'll need to have another look then as I swear they were riveted. I only give it a quick squiz though.
