Replaced my throttle body heater last year. its leaking again got it form atlantic british. Any alternatives on the gasket which I think is the weak spotted what about some kind of thread lock on the bolts?

Bypass.
In all the years Ive drove Ive never had or heard of one freezing. None of my other cars or trucks have that heater.
It gets pretty fuckin cold up here and I've yet to have mine freeze. Just sayin.

I don't know of to many cars that don't have coolant heating the throttle. They just don't have shitty little plates that leak.
When Disco2 started selling we didn't have the throttle heater kit yet. Had to replace a bunch of throttles. A guy I worked with used some 3M epoxy. Land Rover didn't like it so it only got done to about 4 or 5 trucks, but I bet those trucks stayed fixed.
What Jimmiejamz said. Think of wind chill, not ambient temps.
I've opted to spend a little time at the bridgeport today. I quickly hogged out a billet de-icer replacement. I'll use brass 1/8 npt - smooth barb for the hose fittings. My thought is the oem is just too flimsy and subject to warping especially with only one screw at the inlet/outlet end. I pulled my upper plenum to replace the spark plug wires and noticed mine was leaking after replacing the gasket only 2 months ago. I have a new one but want to see if this fabbed piece holds better.
