7M TPS on 1J TB?

I have FFIM made from a 1JZ intake manifold. Just wondering what (if any) modifications need to be made to use the 7M's throttle position sensor on the 1JZ's throttle body.

Nobody's used a 1J Throttle Body on a 7M? I have the FFIM all mocked up, but I have a feeling the 7M's tps isn't going to work. For one, the 7M's TB opens top to bottom where as the IJ's TB opens bottom to top. Also on a 7M intake manifold, the TPS mounts with the plug facing forward (towards the TB opening) while the 1J's appears to mount with the plug facing either up or down (not sure since there was no TPS mounted when I first received the manifold).

Any suggestions of what I can do to get a working TPS on my setup?

well if the throttle plate turns the other way, you really can't use the 7m tps. you might want to check the outputs of the 1jz tps and compare them to the 7m one....if they have similar ranges, you might be able to get away with the 1jz tps. I know the 7m and 2jz tps outputs overlap (based upon the parameters given in the respective service manuals)

I'm pretty sure the 1J and 2J use the same tps, so that's not gonna work. I guess I'll have to scrap the 1J throttle body and go a different route. Are there any TB's out there that bolt right up to the 1J/2J intake manifolds?

If not, I'll have have to go either the Q45 or 1UZ TB route. I heard that both of their TPS' can be hardwired to work with the 7M ECU. Does anyone sell adapters to mount either of these TB's to the 1J/2J manifolds? Or at the very least, a flange I can have welded on?
