After market green injector drain o rings!

Postby robin5 » Tue Oct 10, 2017 6:28 pm

Has anyone replaced their green injector "drain" o ring seals with after market ones? I couldnt get them to fit and they just disintergrated! Do I need genuine Ford (if available)and if so at what price (copper inj seals were £15 + vat each)!

Aye...bought a set of compression copper washers off fleabay early last year....a set of 4 for just $8 Aussie sheckles delivered....cleaned up the seats and fitted them just before Xmas last year and no problem as yet.
