    Does anyone know if the little white plastic blocks that separate the
    fuel injection hard lines can be replaced/found anywhere.
    Two of mine are cracked and I would like to replace them for assethetics
    if nothing else.

    No Sean, but thanks.

    I am talking about the clear/white plastic square blocks that sit between the fuel injector hard lines going to the intake...up by the air manifold.

    That thread is over 4 1/2 years old. Not sure how I missed that discussion but if Steve 48 is still making these I would be up for two sets for both my cars. Will try to drop him a private p.m. later today, haven't heard much from him over the last year. Either way, very nice work indeed!

    I dont have the number handy but our local mercedes dealer got them from mercedes for me (the dealer didn't stock them). Just suggest a 500SEL from the 80's and away you go.

    I have the MB clips. They are 100 times better, much more robust, than the F-Car OEM crap.

    BUT they do not make the 4-liner square clip. You have to fab that from two 2ers. Follow?

    With the new material Steve is using, I'm going with his.

    I'll have to check but IIRC, I got the straight-line 2, 3 and 4 line clips.

    The block or cube 4-line clips, would have to be fabricated.

    the MB clips are good but dont look the part.
    the color and shape is off. mine are just Iike the originals because they are cast from originals. color is the same too. In fact, a local ferrari service and restoration shop chosee to stock my clips over the competitor.
