Peter thank you for your kind offer but Phazed (the other Peter) as come to my rescue thanks for the other suggestions too chaps sadly I dont think these will turn up everything for the car was in cooking trays and they are all accounted for and I checked everywhere bet they are in a land fill somewhere I thought they were only intended to ensure the 'height' of the injectors was located right in the port to ensure optimum spray pattern; not to ensure fixation of the rail (it's bolted down after all)? Certainly TRE Performance who supplied my Green Giants advised that the original clips could be dispensed with (which is as well as they don't fit)... I modded and re-used the oem clips but not sure they do a lot - no problems however; the rail deffo has not blown off

Yeh def need those clips Gary if you push the inj's all the way into the intake with the rail bolted down the top of the injector O ring is just peeping out of the fuel rail Are you sticking with the original injectors or have you changed? Can't vouch for the former but I'm sure the GGs were not at obvious risk of being released regardless of the clips being present. The 'right' clips for the GG body were not at all easy to source however, hence the modding. Maybe some form of spacer underneath to prevent them dropping?
