Fuel Injector Rail & Feed Pipe Union
 

Hi,

I'm in desperate need of a bit of guidance on an issue I'm having with my 75's injector rail and fuel feed pipe connection at the moment. I originally had to disconnect them as I needed clear access to the injectors. When it came to pull them apart they were very stiff, so I let a family member have a go at separating them. Unfortunately, although they managed to get them apart, the 2 o-rings, spacer and collar all flew off or broke which means I didn't see what order they should be arranged in!:duh:

I was able to salvage the original collar and order replacement o-rings but have completely lost the black spacer (which unfortunately seems impossible to find a replacement for!) I have managed to fashion a makeshift spacer that is similar to the original (if anyone knows where I could get a proper replacement I'd be very grateful) but now the question is what order the o-rings, spacer and collar should be in? I have seen one image on the internet and another in the fitting guide which was supplied with the o-rings and there appear to be differences between the two. I have drawn two crude diagrams to demonstrate.....

The order as it appears in an image I found from another thread....

And the other order as it appears in the 'fitting guide'...

I am also confused as to which way the wide end of the collar should be facing too! Any help with this would be very much appreciated, as until it is sorted I am left with an unusable car!

Ill have a look when I find the rails, ive done a few but not for a couple of years so cant remember offhand.

That would be very helpful, do let me know when you can. Thanks again.

Sorry to bother you again. Any joy with the rails yet?

Not yet im afraid, I looked in the place where I thought they were, ill check the shed tomorrow morning!
