Actual price £10.61 convert into your own language ;o)
I will not buy those from there again. In fact I see no
reason to buy from anywhere at all. These were tarnished
with anti rust splodges and IMO could lead to the dreaded
carboning-up of the threads.
Now I have these new ones to hand I shall clean up old ones
and 'undistort' them to the same dimensions as the new ones.
I will even anneal them if required.
To put the price in perspective; this cost is 10% of what I
paid for the entire car some 4 years ago!!
On the same day I also bought some reducers/adaptors to get
from the lower portion of an injector to 1/4" gauge fitting
for my compression tester. I have the option of leaving the
nozzle in the injector piece for a quick response; or remove
it, for safety, should I wish to do a wet ring test (sounds
disgusting :o)
As these adaptors come in pairs I now have two made up all
at a cost of £7.50
