Update 411 engine rebuild.
Update 411 engine rebuild.
Good news and bad news, engines rebuilt and back in the car, sounds great apparently!! Bad news one of the injectors is leaking so cannot go for test drive. Which still leaves me not knowing if the gearbox is Kaput. An appeal does anyone have a couple of spare injectors for sale ( the yellow plug type)...... fingers crossed Rob.

Well, I think someone might have some, and you should put a wanted ad up if you haven't already, but there's a set of 4 with manifolds in the US

Re: Update 411 engine rebuild.
thank you for your reply and research. However the engine builder suggested new or reconditioned and that he could source them the price was extreme to say the least. Thing is do you chance used items. The fact they are coupled to a manifold suggests there the product of a carb conversion. I’ve asked the builder to source the injector. Thanks again.

The engine builder found a company in Germany who recondition injectors at a very high cost £250 each and they want your old injector in exchange. So I’m still searching. I will now post an ad on parts wanted.

Re: Update 411 engine rebuild.
Rob, I had not seen this until today. I had no idea how much they cost. Will just have to let you try the 4 that I have, and let you decide what is a fair deal if they are OK
See you tomorrow.

Re: Update 411 engine rebuild.
Hello Steve, I left a post on the “cars and spares “”site regarding the injectors you have for sale. I will post again on here. Engine builder has soured a couple of NOS injectors so the pressure is off. I still want to buy your items if that’s ok. If you txt me your address I will post you the money plus postage and an address you can send them to. Many thanks.
